The "‍" emote, also known as the Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) emote, is a Unicode character that allows two or more characters to be combined into a single glyph. It is often used to create new emojis by combining different existing emojis or to represent gender-neutral or diverse versions of existing emojis. The ZWJ emote has no visible appearance on its own but affects how other characters are displayed when combined with them.
