Microbe emoji SVG

A microbe, as a bacterium grown in a 🧫 Petri Dish or observed under a 🔬 Microscope. Generally depicted as a squiggly, single-celled microorganism with prominent cilia. Color, shape, and position vary across platforms. Commonly used to represent bacteria, viruses, and germs and disease more generally. In 2020, this emoji became primarily used in reference to Coronavirus / COVID-19. Apple's version of this emoji most closely represents a virus, while others from Samsung, Microsoft and Twitter appear as bright green bacteria. Other versions of this emoji also appear mainly as bacteria: Facebook's is indigo, and WhatsApp’s purple. Google’s design previously displayed five microbes in different, bright colors. Microbe was approved as part of Unicode 11.0 in 2018 and added to Emoji 11.0 in 2018.

Use this emoji in your website

You can add the microbe emoji to your website in a few ways. The first way is by using the unicode character, the emoji itself. This has the advantage of rendering immediately and it doesn't require any additional network requests. However, emoji characters don't always scale well and they are inconsistent across platforms.

<p>Here is my emoji: 🦠</p>

The second way is by using the emoji's HTML character reference, which has the same advantages and disadvantages of using the emoji itself.

<p>Here is my emoji: &#x1f9a0;</p>

The third way is by using an image to display the emoji. This works great if you want to display larger emojis, for example, to allow users to "react" to an article. We provide an Emoji API which you can use to display high-quality SVG or PNG emoji images on your website.
