Frequently asked questions

Does the Penguin favicon work on Safari and iOS?

Yes. The SVG is served to Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Brave. Safari receives an automatically converted PNG. For iOS home-screen icons, also add <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="https://emojifavicons.com/apple-touch-icon/penguin">.

Can I customize the Penguin favicon (shape, background, size)?

Yes. Append query parameters: ?shape=circle&bg=f59e0b&size=64. Supported shapes include circle, rounded, hexagon, diamond, squircle, shield, and badge. Sizes 16–512 are supported.

What is the Unicode codepoint of 🐧?

The Penguin emoji 🐧 is encoded as U+1F427. You can reference it in HTML as 🐧 or in CSS as content: "\1F427";.

Does the Penguin favicon adapt to dark mode?

By default the SVG is transparent and works on any background. For dark-mode–specific variants, serve two <link> tags with media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" and different ?bg= values.
