tl;dr

String s = "";  // Paste the emoji character into source code.

Paste emoji character

Paste the emoji character into your source code.

UTF-8

I suggest you set your project and IDE to use UTF-8 encoding in your Java source files. This enables handling all 143,859 characters defined by Unicode 13 including all the emoji.

If using Apache Maven, set a property <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>; or something similar in Gradle or Ivy.

String s = "";
System.out.println( s ) ;

See this code run live at IdeOne.com.

Character.toString( codePoint )

Alternatively, pass the decimal number of the code point for that character to Character.toString.

String y = Character.toString( 128_512 );
System.out.println( y ) ;
