The marquee HTML element may be deprecated, but it still works, and when you combine it with emojis, and a little CSS, you can create a whole new world.

Sure, you can use CSS animations, or JavaScript, to do a lot better animations, but there’s something fun about old school code that still works.

The downside here is that every browser and platform has its differences. The main issue is that every platform has its own emoji designs. No clue how this looks on Windows, Linux or Android. The other issue is rendering engines seem to have implemented marquee a bit differently. This is smooth in Firefox, decent in Chrome, and a bit choppy in Safari.

Whereas I wouldn’t recommend using the marquee element for anything important, it is fun to play around with.
