Step 1 Understanding the Need of a Valid Code


It would be easy if we could just type out Wink and get this ๐Ÿ˜‰, but you will need to get a bit more technical if you want the Raw HTML Editor to understand your command

Since the use of Smiley's & Icon's skyrocket for the years, many Editors have come to support emoticons codes however some of codes can be a bit difficult to remember and it would help that you keep this post saved!

Step 2 Complete the Code

Above Table shows the accepted Codes which you can simply Copy & Paste the code into Steemit's Raw Editor. You will notice that emoticons won't appear in the preview, this is because the code is not yet complete

One thing is that all these Emoticons have in common is that they all finish with a semicolon ; at the end of each code. Once you add the semicolon ; you actually completed the emoticon code which Steemit's Raw HTML recognizes
Keep it a Try!

Example; Let's Use Tongue smiley ๐Ÿ˜œ

Find the Code from above Table

&#128540

Copy & Paste the Code into HTML Raw Editor and add a Semicolon at the end ;

😜

If copy paste the exact code above you should see the Smiley in the Preview Section

Step 3 - Useful Tips

Tip 1 - You can actually make Icons slightly bigger

See the Difference in Size;
๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿ˜Ž

Just Include a ''# '' tag followed by a ''Space'' before your Code, like this

# 😎

Remember that there must be a Space Between ''#'' and Smiley Code

Tip 2 - Just Copy & Paste the Smiley Directly

You can actually just copy & paste the Smiley directly, try it out now by highlighting this emoticon here ๐Ÿ˜‡

Once highlight, perform a ''Right-click'' using your mouse to copy and afterwards paste it into Steemit's Raw HTML Editor!

Tip 3 - Find more Great Emoticons

There are many more symbols & icons available that I have not covered in this post, so feel free to visit www.unicode-table.com

Step 1 - Find a Specific Icon from unicode-table.com you can browse through several Categories


Step 2 - Copy the Specific HTML Code to Steemit's Raw HTML Editor

Tip 4 - Use Smiley's & Icon's for Comments
