(Method 7) Use the Unicode (for various, e.g. Microsoft Office, JavaScript, Perl).

The Unicode for 📭 is U+1F4ED. The important part is the hexadecimal number after the U+, which is used in various formats. For example, in Microsoft Office applications (e.g. Word, PowerPoint), do the following:

Type	Output
1F4ED [Hold down Alt] [Press x]	📭 (Note that you can omit any leading zeros.)

In JavaScript, the syntax is \uXXXX. So, \u1F4ED wouldn't work in JavaScript because it is a 5-character hexadecimal number. To insert this character in JavaScript, the UTF-16 format (\uXXXX\uXXXX) is needed.

JavaScript Text	Output
let str = "\uXXXX\uXXXX" document.write("My symbol: " + str)	My symbol: 📭

JavaScript Text
const x = "0x"+"1F4ED" ctx.fillText(String.fromCodePoint(x), 5, 5);
