How to Use Lion

To use the Lion symbol (đŸĻ) in HTML, insert the entity 🦁 directly into your markup. The decimal entity 🦁 works in any HTML-serialised document.

In CSS pseudo-elements use content: '\1F981';. In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u{1F981}' evaluates to đŸĻ. In Python source, write '\U0001F981'.

The character encodes to F0 9F A6 81 as UTF-8 bytes and D83E DD81 as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 129409.

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.
