An empty box or a question mark means the font on that device has no glyph for 🌠. The character is still there: it appears correctly wherever a font covers Unicode’s Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block, and free font families such as Google Noto cover nearly all of Unicode.

In HTML, write 🌠 (decimal) or 🌠 (hexadecimal). In CSS, use content: "\1F320"; in a ::before or ::after rule, and in JavaScript "\u{1F320}". See all HTML codes.
