How can I use U+1F54A DOVE OF PEACE in my document, especially with pdfLaTeX and not LuaLaTeX?

1This would be much easier if you could actually use fonts that contain the required glyph.– IngmarCommented May 15, 2022 at 17:24

1Noto Sans Symbols2 have the glyph, but it is a true type font (not for pdflatex). However, using xelatex and the standalone class you can save it as PDF and then use some like \newcommand\dove{\includegraphics[width=1.5em]{dove.pdf}} in pdflatex– FranCommented May 16, 2022 at 8:39

Maybe it's not the exact same symbol, but fontawesome5 has a dove icon.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontawesome5}
\begin{document}
\faDove
\end{document}
You can use the twemojis package with \twemoji{1f54a} or \twemoji{dove}. It works with PDFLaTeX.
Unfortunately the dove is hard to see against a white background, so here I made the background gray:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{twemojis}
\begin{document}
\pagecolor{gray}
\twemoji{1f54a}
\end{document}
Other possibilities include embedding an image, or creating a tiny PDF cropped to just the emoji using lualatex with the emoji package (or any other software that supports emojis, cropped via pdfcrop or similar tool); that PDF could them be included in a pdflatex document via \includegraphics. (Not sure if that counts as "exclusively".)

thanks a lot! But is it possible to scale
\twemoji{1f54a}, i.e. to. make it slightly bigger or smaller ? In my document, for example, it is quite small, if compared to the text... :-)– OmmoCommented May 16, 2022 at 8:23 -
Just for information to the readers of this thread, I had to install the package
twemojismanually, because not included in my distribution... (1) I downloaded the package from CTAN. (2) Through the Terminal of my laptop, I went inside the folder where the package was downloaded and I typedtex twemojis.ins, in order to to get the filetwemojis.sty(I do not know whytex twemojis.dtxdid not work). (3) I copied and pastedtwemojis.styinside the folder where there is my.texdocument and I compiled withpdfLaTeX– OmmoCommented May 16, 2022 at 8:30 -
1You can use a scalebox, e.g.,
\scalebox{4.5}{\twemoji{1f54a}}to make it 4.5× its normal size. There's also\texttwemoji{1f54a}which will scale according to font size.– frabjousCommented May 16, 2022 at 14:22 -
1Actually I just found you can specify a height or width or scale directly as an optional parameter.
\twemoji[height=1in]{1f54a}.– frabjousCommented May 16, 2022 at 14:28 -
1And to set the default height for all emojis:
\setlength{\twemojiDefaultHeight}{14pt}or whatever. See the package documentation for more.– frabjousCommented May 16, 2022 at 14:32
