How to Use Compass
To use the Compass symbol (🧭) in HTML, insert the
entity 🧭 directly into your markup. The decimal entity 🧭 works in any HTML-serialised document.
In CSS pseudo-elements use content: '\1F9ED';.
In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u{1F9ED}' evaluates to 🧭. In Python source, write '\U0001F9ED'.
The character encodes to F0 9F A7 AD as UTF-8 bytes and D83E DDED as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 129517.
This is a fully-qualified emoji and should render with colour on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Appearance may vary between platforms, but the underlying codepoint is identical everywhere.
