How to Use Onion

To use the Onion 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: '\1F9C5';. In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u{1F9C5}' evaluates to 🧅. In Python source, write '\U0001F9C5'.

The character encodes to F0 9F A7 85 as UTF-8 bytes and D83E DDC5 as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 129477.

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.
