U+1F52B Pistol

U+1F52B was added in Unicode version 6.0 in 2010. It belongs to the block U+1F300 to U+1F5FF Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs in the U+10000 to U+1FFFF Supplementary Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as handgun and revolver.

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+1F52B offers a line break opportunity at its position, except in some numeric contexts.

The CLDR project calls this character “water pistol” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: gun, handgun, pistol, revolver, tool, water, weapon.

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 Pistol emoji (🔫) is an emoji usually displayed as a green or orange toy gun or water gun, but historically was displayed as an actual handgun on most older systems. In 2016, Apple replaced its realistic revolver design with a water gun emoji, resulting in other companies similarly changing their renditions over the following years.
