How to implement back-up/fall-back image for ‘emoji’(ex: U+1F9EC). This required for browsers which do not support emoji.

Hi @maheshggk - welcome to the forums!

For your question, which browsers don’t support emojis? Or are you referring to a particular emoji not being supported because the browser or platform hasn’t been updated to use the latest emojis?

🙂

For your question,  
“Browser or platform hasn’t been updated to use the latest emojis”? - Yes

We need U+1F9EC(DNA) emoji, but it is not supporting in IE11.  
So finally, we decided to based on the platform image should load(either emoji/ static image located in specified path).

Thanks, @kirupa for your response.
