How to convert one emoji character to Unicode codepoint number in JavaScript?

how to convert this 😀 in to this 1f600 in javascript

'😀'.charCodeAt(0);  

this will return unicode 55357 but how to get 1f600 from 😀


Two way

let hex = "😀".codePointAt(0).toString(16)
let emo = String.fromCodePoint("0x"+hex);

console.log(hex, emo);

Added script to convert this on browser side

function emojiUnicode (emoji) {
    var comp;
    if (emoji.length === 1) {
        comp = emoji.charCodeAt(0);
    }
    comp = (
        (emoji.charCodeAt(0) - 0xD800) * 0x400
      + (emoji.charCodeAt(1) - 0xDC00) + 0x10000
    );
    if (comp < 0) {
        comp = emoji.charCodeAt(0);
    }
    return comp.toString("16");
};
emojiUnicode("😀"); # result "1f600"

This is what I use:

const toUni = function (str) {
  if (str.length < 4)
    return str.codePointAt(0).toString(16);
  return str.codePointAt(0).toString(16) + '-' + str.codePointAt(2).toString(16);
};

Please Read This Link.

Here is the function :

function toUTF16(codePoint) {
var TEN_BITS = parseInt('1111111111', 2);
function u(codeUnit) {
  return '\\u'+codeUnit.toString(16).toUpperCase();
}

if (codePoint <= 0xFFFF) {
  return u(codePoint);
}
codePoint -= 0x10000;

// Shift right to get to most significant 10 bits
var leadSurrogate = 0xD800 + (codePoint >> 10);

// Mask to get least significant 10 bits
var tailSurrogate = 0xDC00 + (codePoint & TEN_BITS);

 return u(leadSurrogate) + u(tailSurrogate);
}

Here is another way. Source

 "😀".codePointAt(0).toString(16)
