Emoji set

WhatsApp emoji, on any page

WhatsApp draws its own emoji rather than the host system's, so the same message looks the same on an iPhone and on an Android — and looks like neither.

emoji_set: "whatsapp" Ships on WhatsApp on every platform

emoji_set: "whatsapp" WhatsApp

A page rendered with the WhatsApp emoji set

When to pick it

Anything mocking up a WhatsApp conversation, where the system set would immediately read as wrong.

Why it is not just CSS

Nothing in a stylesheet can produce a glyph the machine does not have. The only way to render WhatsApp emoji is for that font to be installed and chosen — which is a container decision, not a request one, and is why this is eight browsers rather than eight parameters on one.

Rendering with WhatsApp
