How to insert Emojis in your page code
The exact method you employ for editing your pages meta tags (title and description) will likely depend upon the CMS you're using. WordPress is the solution I was using so I’ve documented the process for this. However it should be an identical process regardless of the CMS, or simply creating a flat site.
Surprisingly WordPress does not come with an out the box solution to creating custom titles/descriptions. This is something you will need a plugin for. I’ve tried a few different ones for adding meta tags and found there were surprisingly few that allowed you to do this on a page by page basis.
None of the plugins I attempted allowed me to copy/paste an emoji straight into the code. All of them which I attempted would allow me to enter an emoji into the text field but upon saving would return to the default state. I suspect that the emoji was causing an error that none of the plugins could handle, none of the ones I tried returned an error message on saving or gave any clues as to what was going on though.
The way around this is to use the HTML code for the emoji rather than the emoji itself. The plugin I settled on using was Yoast SEO plugin, as this was the solution I initially tried and it usually displays the predicted SERP result, so I could see straight away if I had the correct code for the emoji.
The next thing you would like is that the emoji itself, or rather the HTML entity for the emoji. Finding a site that gives this information isn’t that easy, I found this one: Emojis for Website Title and Meta Description .Find the emoji you would like to use then copy/paste the code shown into the sector for the title/description and use it as you would like.
If you're coding a page from scratch then you ought to be ready to use these codes in much an equivalent way, manually added them into the page title/description tags as needed.
