How do you get its script symbol?

              position: 870 of 1031 (84%), column: 65
             character: 😠 (displayed as 😠) (codepoint 128544, 
#o373040, #x1f620)
     preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x1F620
                syntax: w     which means: word
              category: .:Base
           buffer code: #xF0 #x9F #x98 #xA0
             file code: #xF0 #x9F #x98 #xA0
                (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
               display: by this font (glyph code)
xft:-unknown-Symbola-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-15-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 
(#x1ADE)
