JS Bookmarklet to Copy a Unicode character to clipboard

1132262

I'm wondering how I could make a bookmarklet that, when clicked, copies the U202A character to my clipboard (No, not for collaborative text-editing rap battles. I promise.)
I've looked, and there doesn't seem to be an intuitive way to do this. All the APIs I've seen use HTML elements as input.
Any suggestions?

You could try navigator.clipboard.writeText:

navigator.clipboard.writeText('\u202a')

It's possible that it can only be run in certain event handlers like in a click event listener, but this depends on the browser

This is my signature. It appears below all my posts. Discuss it on my profile, not the forums. Here's how to make your own.
.postsignature { overflow: auto; } .scratchblocks { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }
