I'm trying to display an emoji in a Facebook Messenger bot made in NodeJS but I cannot figure out how to turn chars like http://apps.timwhitlock.info/unicode/inspect/hex/1F382 into a string I could send via the API.

Many thanks for any help.

Some of the emojis are not supported. You will get snowflakes if you try this

decodeURI('\u2744')

whereas, 

decodeURI('\uF382')

is not working.

Thanks Sriram

  • Many thanks Sriram! That works fine for snowflakes. I'm however trying to display balloons (http://apps.timwhitlock.info/unicode/inspect/hex/1F388) that I have seen in a Messenger bot app, with no success. Are you able to make it work? – RaphArbuz Jan 05 '17 at 10:46
  • Thanks for checking, there must be a way since I saw it in an app. Will update here if I find (and please do the same if you do). – RaphArbuz Jan 05 '17 at 13:18
