What ๐Ÿ’‚๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ is made of

This symbol is glued together from several: an invisible joiner sits between them. Software that does not know about the joiner shows the parts separately.

  1. ๐Ÿ’‚ guard U+1F482
  2. ๐Ÿผ skin tone U+1F3FC
  3. invisible joiner U+200D
  4. โ™‚ male sign U+2642
  5. ๏ธ ยซdraw as a pictureยป marker U+FE0F

Hence the familiar surprise: you send one picture and the other side gets several in a row, and deleting removes the symbol piece by piece. That is not a fault but how the standard itself works.

Will your readers see ๐Ÿ’‚๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The symbol predates 2018, so every system in use today draws it. Safe for an email, a heading or a signature.
