Use emoticon in subject line for sendgrid email

Issue

How can I use an emoticon in a subject line in an email?

I would like to use the rocket. I tried adding the HTML decimal entity in the subject string. However this is rendering as the characters and not the rocket.

"Launch 🚀"

Solution

Subject lines don't get rendered as HTML in email clients. What you want to do is send the literal character, ie: Launch 🚀.
