Four hammers, no sledgehammer
CLDR files four emoji under hammer: Hammer, Pick, Hammer and pick and Hammer and wrench. Unicode notes Hammer and pick as mining and as a working day in timetables. There is no sledgehammer emoji, no mallet and no gavel: π¨ stands in for all three.
Hammer symbols and typed hammers
U+1F528 has no text style, so the plain hammer symbol is β, Hammer and pick, text style, in Unicode since version 4.1. No key types a hammer either: a hammer keyboard symbol is built from brackets and equals signs, and that hammer text is plain ASCII.
Questions and answers
What does the π¨ emoji mean?
Building, fixing or hitting something: CLDR files it under home and improvement. Wiktionary gives the verb a figurative sense too: to hammer is to emphasize a point repeatedly.
Is there a hammer and nail emoji?
Not as one emoji, and Unicode has no nail emoji either: the only emoji CLDR files under nail is Nail polish. The combo Hammer and nail pairs Hammer with Pushpin, and the typed pair uses |----- for the nail.
What is the Alt code for a hammer?
There is none for π¨: code page 437 has no hammer, and U+1F528 is past 65,535, the highest decimal Alt number. By Wikipedia, some apps take Alt+9874 for β, and some turn 1F528 into π¨ when Alt+X follows it.
