I have the following context where I want to turn a pattern into an emoji, however what I see as a result is F600;. The code F600; does not render into an emoji.
Any idea why?
$('#m').keyup(function (){ value = $('#m').val().replace(/(\:\))/g, 'F600;'); $('#m').val(value); }); I have also tried with U+1F600 and has the same result.
You're missing the 'x' for a hex entity value, 😀
😀
For passing this emoji in a JavaScript string, as the character itself and not as an HTML entity, you need two characters -- JavaScript strings can only do 16-bit codepoints directly, so Unicode codepoints beyond \uFFFF have to be broken up into two 16-bit values, like this:
'\uD83D\uDE00' These are called "surrogate pairs".
Alternatively, you can create an expression for the emoji character this way too:
String.fromCodePoint(0x1F600) You can even use the emoji characters directly in your code, so long as you're saving your code in a compatible encoding, like UTF-8, and you can count on the code editors you'll be using to handle an appropriately extended character set.
let a = '😀';, then I got the values for a.charCodeAt(0).toString(16) and a.charCodeAt(1).toString(16).
.val-s ?
