Frequently asked questions

What is the Unicode code point for Black Cat?

Black Cat is a sequence of 3 code points: U+1F408 U+200D U+2B1B.

Does Black Cat support skin tones?

No. Unicode does not define a skin tone modifier for this emoji, so adding one would produce the base emoji followed by a stray colour swatch.

Why does Black Cat sometimes appear as separate emoji?

It is joined with zero-width joiners. When a device has no single glyph for the combination, it falls back to drawing each part side by side. Both results are correct behaviour.

How do I use Black Cat in HTML or code?

Paste the character directly into UTF-8 source, or use an escape: 🐈‍⬛ in HTML, \u{1f408}\u{200d}\u{2b1b} in JavaScript.
