How to Use Cricket
To use the Cricket 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: '\1F997';.
In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u{1F997}' evaluates to 🦗. In Python source, write '\U0001F997'.
The character encodes to F0 9F A6 97 as UTF-8 bytes and D83E DD97 as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 129431.
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.
