Adding emoji characters to a page
Emoji characters are picture symbols in the i-mode font set. The glyph, or visual representation of the character, is a picture instead of a letter. Because an emoji is a character, it only takes up two bytes of memory--much less than a tiny GIF image. There are 196 emoji characters, letting you communicate information very efficiently.
In CHTML, emoji are represented by name. This is the default method GoLive uses. In HTML emoji are represented as an HTML entity. That is an ampersand, a pound sign followed by 5 digits, and an ending semicolon. For example, the entity  represents the character "fine" (as in "fine weather"), and looks like a shining sun. Using the ampersand code you do not need Shift_JIS page encoding.
The Japanese version of GoLive includes the Emoji gaiji font. Using this font requires a Japanese Windows operating system.
Note: If users are viewing your site on a computer, they must have the emoji font installed.
To add and edit emoji:
- Drag the Emoji icon from the Basic set in the Objects palette into the document window.
- To change the character, select the emoji icon in your document, and click another emoji character in the Emoji Inspector.
Note: Adobe recommends using the ampersand code when using emoji.
