What the πββοΈ emoji means
A figure with one arm up. Volunteering, asking a question, or answering Β«who wants toΒ».
Works as a reply on its own. Comes in male and female forms plus five skin tones; the neutral one keeps it simple.

What πββοΈ 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.

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.
