Adding Emoticons & Other Icons Using UTF-8 Decimal (Base 10) HTML Codes on Steemit

in #editing6 years ago (edited)

This article shows you how to use all kinds of characters is the last article in the series, barring me discovering other relevant info. May I just say that this was a colossal undertaking that took me many, many hours to complete - not as challenging as some of my previous articles, but certainly time-consuming!


If you're trying to add some "style" to your articles on Steemit, there are some choices from hypertext markup language (HTML) and markdown language (MDL) that you can use. Each of these items is called a "tag"; the one before the text is an opening tag, and the one after the text you're styling is a closing tag. Certain tags do not need both as they are self-closing. Tags within <> are from HTML. Unfortunately, those of you who have studied HTML and MDL may be frustrated because only certain tags from each work. Here are a few that I figured out for you, although I STILL don't know how to underline. In each article, I'll share some tips for you! THERE IS NO MDL taught in this article.


Resources for Emoticons and Other Characters

Before you start, check out the Steemit article that put me onto this. Unfortunately, the Raw HTML Editor in that article isn't available (to me? to all?), but the rest of it is useful. Steemitguide: Tutorial on How-To use Unicode Characters on Steemit Raw HTML Editor ! Includes Cheatsheet on Smileys, Icons and Symbols by @steemitguide. The info on how to enlarge an icon doesn't work, but much of the rest of it works!

Unicode-table.com provides you with HTML and unicode codes for lots of icons.
FlatIcon provides almost 1,000,000 icons for free, too, in various image formats, including: SVG (a format which scales to any size very nicely), EPS vector, PNG, PSD files and Icon Font.
There are other websites that offer icons if you just search (which is how I found FlatIcon just now).


How To Add Emoticons (and other Icons)

The use of icons is incredibly simple. You can either cut and paste the image you want, which will appear in the editor as icons, too: 🐼; or, you can use the HTML decimal code that is its equivalent (see the resources listed above, or the table below): &#128060; Note that the code doesn't have to be preceded or followed by a space. As with text, the HTML and MDL I've shared for formatting text can be used on these icons. Don't forget the ampersand-hashtag &# at the start and the semicolon ; at the end!

I had thought to make an abridged table of the UTF-8 character set (an index of everything), but it's pretty complicated and disorganized. You can always see plenty at Character Sets, which lists a wide range of character sets. Note that once you select one, you'll need to click on "Complete Character Set" or "Grid". Click here for UTF-8, which is spread over several pages.

Here's an "abbreviated" table of some of the icons and emoticons you can get from UTF-8. To make the table fit correctly, I had to remove the symbols from the codes, so please take whatever number is listed for the symbol you want in the "No." column, and prefix it with "&#" and suffix it with a semicolon (;). Ex. No.102351=code &#102351;

Be aware that Windows uses UTF-16, so some symbols won't appear if you're using Windows; in order to show something for those that aren't compatible with Windows, I used fileformat.info and copy-pasted the image here. Finally, you'll notice gaps in the numbering sequence, which is both because of unused numbers and numbers I didn't want to display (languages, letters, numbers, special symbols, etc.).

Since I have received so little reward for all my efforts in creating these articles for editors and this article took a very LONG time to make, this is going to be my last one and I won't include UTF-16. I would've made it substantially more useful if it were worth my time (i.e. if Steemit were actually designed to appreciate fairly and equally quality work)
by separating into different categories the various icons shown below, among other things.

For the curious, I used MDL to build the tables. I was not able to use triple columns because, although it looked right in the preview, it failed to display correctly when saved.

This post took me many, many hours over a couple of weeks to create, and it could have been much better if Steemit actually supported me. As it is, I earn no money, despite my best efforts and so much time to provide quality content of use to many, on Steemit.

If you're looking for an all-in-one guide, you might find The Ultimate Guide To Formatting On Steemit (Markup and Markdown) by @sisygoboom useful. It contains a lot of info, briefly presented, and I even found a couple of new things!

A great deal of this involved experimenting, both with what I know about HTML and markdown, and because not everything in the articles I read worked.
As I was working on this, I found this article How to insert 2 Columns and edit Text Style with equivalent HTML tags using Steemit's Raw Markdown Editor by @steemitguide. It's not as comprehensive as I needed, but it did remind me about divs and how to make columns, and the first 2 links to other articles (at the bottom of it) may help you. The third I found to be useless, except I got the "center" tag from it. Some of the info in the 2 other articles works, some doesn't, including the stuff about the Raw HTML editor.

I found this article to be difficult to use, and not everything works, but I gleaned some of the above content from it: Steemit Beginner Tips : Basic Guide on how to Adjust and Edit Fonts in Post. If you don't see something from here in my article, that's because it didn't work or I couldn't figure it out.

The article Steemitguide: Tutorial on How-To use Unicode Characters on Steemit Raw HTML Editor ! Includes Cheatsheet on Smileys, Icons and Symbols, by @steemitguide, has some outdated info, but it was where I got the emoticon codes from and, by looking at the source code, I was reminded about using tables.

dang... putting together that table must have been a real pain here :P

It was indeed! I'm glad I didn't use HTML - that would've been even worse!
