Output Emojis 🔥 with ReasonReact

I’m using ReasonReact on top of ReasonML and I’m trying to output some emojis like this:

      <div>(ReasonReact.string("Fire 🔥"))</div>

but the output is:

Fire 🔥

The solution I found is to use the funky looking “Js string” instead of double quotes. The Js string in ReasonML has curlies and pipes with a js in the middle {js| Fire 🔥 |js}

In context it looks like this:

<div>(ReasonReact.string({js| Fire 🔥 |js}))</div>

And now I can see some fire:

Fire 🔥
