Using 表情符号s in HTML
表情符号s are characters from the UTF-8 character set: 😄 😍 💗
What are 表情符号s?
表情符号s look like images, or icons, but they are not.
They are letters (characters) from the UTF-8 (Unicode) character set.
UTF-8 covers almost all of the characters and symbols in the world.
The HTML charset Attribute
To display an HTML page correctly, a web browser must know the character set used in the page.
This is specified in the tag:
If not specified, UTF-8 is the default character set in HTML.
UTF-8 Characters
Many UTF-8 characters cannot be typed on a keyboard,
but they can always be displayed using numbers (called entity numbers):
A is 65
B is 66
C is 67
Example
I will display A B C
I will display A B C

Example Explained
The element defines the character set.
The characters A, B, and C, are displayed by the numbers 65, 66, and 67.
To let the browser understand that you are displaying a character, you must start the entity number
with and end it with ; (semicolon).
