Harp is one of the objects emoji, alongside ๐ท ๐บ ๐ช ๐ช ๐ธ and 7 more in the same family.
History & Platforms
Harp was added in 2024 as part of Emoji 16.0. It has artwork in Twemoji, Google's Noto, OpenMoji, but not yet in Microsoft's Fluent. Apple, Samsung and WhatsApp draw it in their own styles, which is why the same emoji can look a little different from phone to phone.
Under the hood ๐ช is the single code point U+1FA89, and on GitHub, Slack and most chat apps you can type it as :harp:.
