Hi,

I do use unicode in my workflow (editor, file…) and some unicode such as : :index_pointing_at_the_viewer: or​:muscle:, are well represented in my editor, but the pdf have difficulties to display them. I got a � in the pdf, but get a good display within html output.

What could I do ?

Typst natively support unicode, and even has an emoji module to easily insert emojis into your document (in your case, emoji.finger.front and emoji.arm.muscle in case you don’t want to copy/paste emojis directly into the source code.

Make sure the font that you are using supports emojis

I think the emoji font you use might be the problem. You could try to use a different font that provides emojis.
If you haven’t explicitly set an emoji font, Typst falls back to one available on the system you compile the document on.

#set text(font: (
  "YOUR-TEXT-FONT",
  "YOUR-EMOJI-FONT",
))
