What 🧝🏽♂️ 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.

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

Where the 🧝🏽♂️ emoji is used
The 🧝🏽♂️ smiley copies in one tap and pastes into a chat as text, not as a picture: it is a Unicode symbol, so it works the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and in a post caption. Every platform draws emoji its own way — below you can see how man elf: medium skin tone is drawn in the open Noto, OpenMoji and Twemoji sets.
