I want to add emojis in a html page, eg. ๐ฌ๐ง but they do not render with the colorized icon.
I tried the follwing
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<body>
๐ฌ๐ง
๐
</body>
</html>
And it does not show the colorized icons of the UK flag and sheep respectively. I as well tried wrapping the emoji characters in a span but it neither works. Maybe is something related to the fonts?
The rendering of the emojis is depending on the font you use to display them. Emojis are just normal characters like the letter "A" and need to be defined in the font you are using on your page. To display emojis correctly, you need to use a font which has these emojis defined and set the <span> (or your whole page) to use that font (with CSS).
Here is an explanation on Emojis. And here is an example on how to use the Google Noto Emoji Color font (free to use) on your website:
1- Download the font (here)
2- Embed it into your CSS:
#font-face {
font-family: "Noto Emoji Regular";
src: url('NotoEmoji-Regular.ttf') format('truetype');
}
Make sure the url has the right path to the local .tff file and add this to your page <style> definition or CSS file.

I am using 1st-time #font-face and facing some issue that my form label need two languages (1) English and (2) Hindi
I want the content of the text box in Hindi instead of the English alphabet.
For Hindi font I made below CSS added external CSS font but it's not coming on my form, then I called my class into my HTML but HTML is taking junk values, I don't know where I doing some mistakes please suggest me a solution.
#font-face {
font-family: hindi !important;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url('file:///C:/Users/Tapas/Desktop/java%20script/es6/Kruti_Dev_010.ttf');
}
.lang-hindi {
font-family: hindi !important;
}
<p class="lang-hindi"> kaise ho</p>
I am expecting the Hindi alphabet as an output but it's showing only the English alphabet, can anyone please help me with the solution.
go to this site: https://www.web-font-generator.com/
upload your (Kruti_Dev_010.ttf) generate the web font
download generated font there will be CSS file in download files along with .woff, .svg, .eot and .ttf files as well
copy CSS style and correct file paths then use it into you web page
To use kruti dev font you cannot type the text like 'kaise ho' you need to use hindi keyboard layout to type -
so for example if you want to write
then you will in your html you will write - 'lkoZtfud izU;kl efUnj Jh egkdkys'oj '
You can better use Google Fonts, https://fonts.google.com/
Select your font over there, and add this to your web-page.
The answer you are looking for is a bit difficult but you can write whatever your desired text using google font and it will work on all browsers.
How can I test if a particular web font contains a particular Unicode character? I can't simply include the character in some text, because a browser's font substitution mechanism may choose another font to display the character.
EDIT
This is the best solution I have been able to come up with so far:
First, you must download the LastResort font from Unicode: https://www.unicode.org/policies/lastresortfont_eula.html. (This is a bit tricky - I kept getting "network error", but in the end I succeeded.)
The LastResort font allegedly has a replacement icon for every Unicode character.
Now, let's assume that I want to check if the Google fonts "Pacifico" and "Merienda" contain the Unicode characters F and ะค (Unicode character 0424). I can use this code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Font detect</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Pacifico">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merienda">
<style>
#font-face {
font-family: 'LastResort';
src: url('LastResort.ttf') format('truetype');
}
p.pacifico {
font-family: Pacifico, LastResort;
font-size: 60pt;
}
p.lato {
font-family: Merienda, LastResort;
font-size: 60pt;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="pacifico">F ะค</p>
<p class="lato">F ะค</p>
</body>
</html>
This will display thus:
For Pacifico, both F and ะค are displayed, but for Merienda the Russian character ะค is replaced by a default icon from LastResort. So Pacifico contains ะค, Merienda does not.
Now, I don't know if this is a foolproof method, and I don't know if there is a simpler way to do it.
Wakamai Fondue is a tool that will tell you about which characters a font contains. It'll also tell you about any OpenType feature inside the font, and some more details. (Full disclosure: I wrote that tool)
If you want to check it at the client side, I think there's no way around trying to render the character and then check if it's actually been rendered. If you use Adobe Blank as a fallback font you could check if it rendered the character (width would be > 0) or not (width would be 0).
Note: They aren't new. Just "not supported", somehow.
I'm trying to make simple controls for a element on my website, along the lines of a simple "mute" or "not mute" control.
However, I haven't been able to find any fonts capable of handling the newer Unicode symbols, such as the speaker symbols (🔇 to ๐, or ๐ to ๐) which are broken (๐ ๐ ๐ ๐) even on Stack Overflow, yet still - They can be found in the Unicode character listings and are somehow able to be displayed in my PDF reader and Internet Explorer, but not Chrome.
This is the first paragraph (above), from my perspective, with the characters broken:
Anyway, here's my snippit of the code. (The video controls are in plain view for testing purposes). The actual element has a z-index: -1000 attached to it; used as a video background.
function mute() {
document.getElementById("jsControl").setAttribute ("href", "javascript:unmute()");
document.getElementById("jsControl").innerHTML = "๐";
document.getElementById("videoPlayer").volume = 0.0
};
function unmute() {
document.getElementById("jsControl").setAttribute ("href", "javascript:mute()");
document.getElementById("jsControl").innerHTML = "๐";
document.getElementById("videoPlayer").volume = 1.0
};
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
font-family: [Insert font names and attempts];
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<video id="videoPlayer" src="..."></video>
<a id="jsControl" href="javascript:unmute()">๐</a>
</body>
</html>
I've tried different web-safe fonts, such as Arial, Times New Roman and Tahoma and Sergoe UI.
Question: Is there any font that can be used that supports those unicode characters that works on Chrome?
(Even a font that has these remapped onto regular letters like Wingdings will be accepted as they can be attached using #font-face { ... }.)
Also, please don't complain about the broken Javascript (if it is not written correctly) - I can fix that myself. It's the font; text (missing symbols) that I'm worried about.
Update: Viewing the icons in Internet Explorer works fine. Seems to be a chrome-and/or-other-browser sort of issue.
Since you would use just a few symbols in a special context, rather than as text characters, the practical choice is to use images.
However, if you really want to use characters, there is a very limited set of fonts to consider. According to fileformat.info, U+1F507 is supported only by Quivira, Symbola, Segoe UI Symbol, and Segoe UI Emoji. The latter two are proprietary fonts, available only in relative new versions of Windows, and as different variants (e.g., my Windows 7 lacks Segoe UI Emoji and has a variant of Segoe UI Symbol that lacks the character).
Thus, the only way that works reasonably is to use either Quivira or Symbola as a downloadable font, via #font-face. As they are rather large fonts, and you would need to serve them in different font formats for cross-browser functionality, this approach is hardly a practical option (unless you have many other special characters, possibly used in text, that also need such special fonts).
You shouldn't assume the person viewing your site has necessary fonts installed. Instead, you should add an external font. Find a font that has an appropriate licence and contains the required symbols (for example http://emojisymbols.com/), and add it to CSS as with #font-face declaration:
/*
EmojiSymbols Font (c)blockworks - Kenichi Kaneko
http://emojisymbols.com/
*/
#font-face {
font-family: "EmojiSymbols";
src: url('EmojiSymbols-Regular.woff') format('woff');
text-decoration: none;
font-style: normal;
}
.controlIcon {
font-family: "EmojiSymbols";
}
I have a text box in my html page. I want to type in custom font (regional language) inside this textbox.
I add TTF file and changed the font family to this custom font. But still when I am entering into this text box, it is simply display it in English (default) only.
css code
#font-face
{
font-family:Anjali;
src: url ('AnjaliOldLipi.ttf');
}
.font-face
{
display:block;
font-family:Anjali;
}
HTML code
<input type="text" class="font-face"/>
How is it possible to type in English, and when entering space it is converting to custom font (regional language)? I am trying to implement same as in http://www.google.com/transliterate.
Google Transliterate is using the following font-family declaration:
html, input, textarea {
font-family: arial,sans-serif;
}
To have the characters translated to the specified alphabet, use a JavaScript Unicode mapping from English codepoints to Anjali codepoints, such as the following:

I have a standalone HTML document I want to distribute, without any external dependencies. I'm using a non-standard font in this document that only some of my users will have installed.
For those users that do not have the font installed, I am including a copy of the font in an embedded SVG document at the top of the <body>. (I'm using a one-glyph font for this example, the real document is using a complete font.)
<svg style="display: none;"><defs>
<font id="MyFontElement">
<font-face font-family="MyFont" />
<glyph unicode="A" horiz-adv-x="950" d="M0,0L0,100L100,100L100,200L0,200L0,300L100,300L100,400L200,400L200,500L300,500L300,600L400,600L600,600L600,500L700,500L700,400L800,400L800,300L900,300L900,200L800,200L800,100L900,100L900,0L600,0L600,100L700,100L700,200L800,200L800,300L100,300L100,200L200,200L200,100L300,100L300,0L0,0M300,400L600,400L600,500L300,500L300,400Z" />
</font>
</defs></svg>
SVG fonts do not look as nice as ordinary fonts, so I only want the SVG font to be used if the font is not installed locally. If the font was defined in an external SVG document, I could use it at a lower priority than the locally-installed font like this: (fiddle)
<style>
#font-face {
font-family: "My Font";
src: local("My Font"), url("fonts.svg#MyFontElement") format("svg");
}
</style>
<p style="font: 3em 'My Font';">
Alphabet
</p>
Unfortunately, none of the obvious variations seem to work for a font in the current document: (fiddle)
src: local("My Font"),
url("./#MyFontElement") format("svg"),
url("./#MyFontElement"),
url("#MyFontElement") format("svg"),
url("#MyFontElement");
Even without a #font-face declaration, the font is already available in the document as MyFont, the font-family specified in the <font-face />. However, this will be used at a higher priority than a native font named MyFont, so it is not an solution.
I hoped that I might be able to refer to it as local("MyFont")... (fiddle)
src: local("My Font"), /* local */
local("MyFont"); /* embedded */
...but that doesn't work either.
I could give the embedded font a different name and use it at a lower priority, style="font-family: LocalFont, EmbeddedFont", but I'm allowing users to import snippets from local files into the document and those local files will refer to the font only by the standard name. It would be possible to rewrite these references when they're imported, but I don't like that solution.
How do I refer to an SVG font embedded in the current document from a #font-face declaration?
Convert the font to a data URI and embedded it in the CSS declaration: (fiddle)
<style>
#font-face {
font-family: "My Font";
src: url("data:application/octet-stream;base64,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") format("svg");
}
</style>
<p style="font: 3em 'My Font';">

</p>
There's one caveat: you can't use an ID specifier (#MyFont) with a data URI like this. Therefore you can only have a single font in the encoded file, rather than having multiple and referring to them individually. (Not that you'd want to; duplicating the data for multiple embedded fonts in the declaration for each font would be a huge waste of space.)
Specify the local font name first in the css, then the embedded font name:
p {
font-family: MyFontLocalName, MyFontEmbeddedName;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/gilly3/xX6Bv/5/
If the MyFontLocalName is installed on the user's computer, that font will be used, otherwise MyFontEmbeddedName will be used.
