HTML Emoji Codes
HTML emoji codes are a method of encoding that allows you to represent emojis using a specific string of characters. Web editors recognize these unique character strings and automatically transform them into emoji symbols when displaying content to users.
The encoding process follows a distinct pattern. An HTML emoji code always begins with an ampersand (&), followed by a hash symbol (#), and concludes with a semicolon (;).
To decode and use these HTML emoji codes, most people rely on a reference table rather than memorizing the codes themselves. While there are patterns to recognize, they can be complex and varied, so having a reference is often more practical.
Examples
Here are a couple of examples illustrating HTML emoji codes.
Code: &# x1f496 ;
Result: 💖
Omit any spaces within the HTML code when you go to paste this.
In this example, x1f496 has been used for the code portion. That can be replaced with another code like 128128 to render the correct emoji. No x is added for decimal codes (Dec).
You can find a comprehensive list of HTML emoji codes on this W3Schools page.
* NOTE: You can't convert emoji codes into plain text in Wikitext editors. No matter what tags you use (wikitext, code, pre), none of them work. If you wish to display emoji codes as plain text, you'll need to insert a space or another symbol to separate them. *
Copy-Paste
It's important to note that some emojis are not rendered using HTML codes. In such cases, you can simply copy and paste the emoji into your web editor.
