How to Use Merperson
To use the Merperson symbol (๐ง) in HTML, insert the
entity 🧜 directly into your markup. The decimal entity 🧜 works in any HTML-serialised document.
In CSS pseudo-elements use content: '\1F9DC';.
In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u{1F9DC}' evaluates to ๐ง. In Python source, write '\U0001F9DC'.
The character encodes to F0 9F A7 9C as UTF-8 bytes and D83E DDDC as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 129500.
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.
