History & Platforms
Mx Claus was added in 2020 as part of Emoji 13.0. It has artwork in Twemoji, Google's Noto, Microsoft's Fluent, OpenMoji. 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 ๐งโ๐ is the 3-code-point sequence U+1F9D1 U+200D U+1F384, and on GitHub, Slack and most chat apps you can type it as :mx_claus:.
