What 2️⃣ keycap: 2 means
Numbered lists, countdowns, rankings and scores. #️⃣ doubles as a hashtag reference and *️⃣ as a footnote. Technically these are not single characters at all: each is a sequence of the digit, a variation selector and U+20E3, the combining enclosing keycap, which is why they can fall apart into a bare number in plain text. Only 🔟 is one code point.
