This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as archery target and hitting the target.
The glyph is not a composition. Its East Asian Width is wide. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+1F3AF offers a line break opportunity at its position, except in some numeric contexts.
The CLDR project calls this character “bullseye” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: bull, dart, direct, entertainment, game, hit, target.
This character is designated as an emoji. It will be rendered as colorful emoji on conforming platforms. To reduce it to a monochrome character, you can combine it with Variation Selector-15: 🎯︎ See the Emojipedia for more details on this character’s emoji properties.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The bullseye or bull's eye has, since 1833, been the name for the center of a target and, by extension, since 1857, has been given to any throw, toss, or shot that hits the center.
In further development, success in an endeavor in which there is such inherent difficulty that most people are far more likely to choose, do, or identify something that is either unfortunately only close to or dismissively far from the ideal or necessary thing to choose can be called "hitting the bull's eye."
