Use this emoji in your website

You can add the face holding back tears 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.

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