Step 1 Understanding the Need of a Valid Code
It would be easy if we could just type out Wink and get this ๐, 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 ๐
😜
😜
If copy paste the exact code above you should see the Smiley in the Preview Section
Step 3 - Useful Tips
See the Difference in Size;
๐
๐
Just Include a ''# '' tag followed by a ''Space'' before your Code, like this
# 😎
Remember that there must be a Space Between ''#'' and Smiley Code
You can actually just copy & paste the Smiley directly, try it out now by highlighting this emoticon here ๐
Once highlight, perform a ''Right-click'' using your mouse to copy and afterwards paste it into Steemit's Raw HTML Editor!
