HTML Emoji

Here's a tutorial on using emojis in HTML:

Emojis are small pictorial icons that can be used to express emotions or convey messages in digital communication. Emojis can be used in HTML web pages by using Unicode character codes or by using special HTML entities.

  • Using Unicode Character Codes Unicode character codes are numeric codes that represent characters, including emojis. To use an emoji in HTML using Unicode, you can use the corresponding character code in the &#x notation, followed by a semicolon (;).

Here's an example of how to use the red heart emoji using Unicode character codes:

<p>&#x2764;&#xfe0f;</p>

In this example, the Unicode character code for the red heart emoji is &#x2764;&#xfe0f;, which is placed between the <p> and </p> tags. When the web page is rendered, the red heart emoji will be displayed.

  • Using HTML Entities HTML entities are special codes that represent characters or symbols, including emojis. To use an emoji in HTML using HTML entities, you can use the corresponding entity code in the & notation, followed by a semicolon (;).

Here's an example of how to use the smiling face with sunglasses emoji using HTML entities:

<p>&#x1F60E;</p>

In this example, the HTML entity code for the smiling face with sunglasses emoji is &#x1F60E;, which is placed between the <p> and </p> tags. When the web page is rendered, the emoji will be displayed.

  • Using Emojis in CSS You can also use emojis in CSS stylesheets by specifying them as a value for the content property.

Here's an example of how to use the star emoji as a content value in CSS:

.star:before {
  content: "\2B50";
}

In this example, the content property is used to specify the star emoji as the value for the :before pseudo-element of an HTML element with the class .star. The emoji is specified using its Unicode character code (\2B50).

By using Unicode character codes or HTML entities, you can add emojis to your HTML web pages and enhance the visual and emotional impact of your content.
