Frequently asked questions
What is the Unicode code point for Broken Chain?
Broken Chain is a sequence of 4 code points: U+26D3 U+FE0F U+200D U+1F4A5.
Does Broken Chain support skin tones?
No. Unicode does not define a skin tone modifier for this emoji, so adding one would produce the base emoji followed by a stray colour swatch.
Why does Broken Chain sometimes appear as separate emoji?
It is joined with zero-width joiners. When a device has no single glyph for the combination, it falls back to drawing each part side by side. Both results are correct behaviour.
What is the U+FE0F in Broken Chain?
U+FE0F is a variation selector requesting the colour emoji presentation. Without it, the same base character may be drawn as a monochrome text glyph.
How do I use Broken Chain in HTML or code?
Paste the character directly into UTF-8 source, or use an escape: ⛓️‍💥 in HTML, \u{26d3}\u{fe0f}\u{200d}\u{1f4a5} in JavaScript.
