Use this emoji in your website

You can add the skull and crossbones 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: &#x2620;</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.
