How to Use Whale
To use the Whale 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: '\1F40B';.
In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u{1F40B}' evaluates to 🐋. In Python source, write '\U0001F40B'.
The character encodes to F0 9F 90 8B as UTF-8 bytes and D83D DC0B as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 128011.
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.
