Hi, How did you add fire after the BOOM Text? Is it an image or Icon?

While pasting emoji's directly into your text will usually work, a better way to include them is with HTML entity codes.

The code for fire is 🔥 (decimal) or 🔥 (hex). Either one displays as: šŸ”„ (I used the hex code here). There are a number of web references for HTML entities, I got this one from compart.com.

For use here in the forum, Markdown formatting also displays some emoji's by name, but they may look different. This one can be displayed with the code :fire: which displays here as: :fire:

Hi Prasanthi,

The fire icons are actually emojis.

šŸ”„

I use a Google Chrome Extension to lookup and insert emojis. It is called "Emoji Keyboard".

You can also just copy and past them from emoji websites like this one: https://emojipedia.org/fire/

That will take you directly to the page for "fire" and there is a button there to copy it.

You can copy it directly into your code.

I was kind of surprised that you could paste emoji's directly into your code. But I think as long as they are in text that is going to display on the page, they should work.

Happy Coding! šŸ™‚

Heidi
