How to Use Sparkles

To use the Sparkles 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: '\2728';. In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u2728' evaluates to ✨. In Python source, write '\u2728'.

The character encodes to E2 9C A8 as UTF-8 bytes and 2728 as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 10024.

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.
