How is it used in conversation?
Make the wish personal: βHappy birthday; wishing you a lovely year ahead πβ. If you are inviting someone, write the date, time, and location instead of relying on celebratory symbols. A party popper or gift can add to a short combination without obscuring the practical details.
Cake colors and candle counts can vary across devices, so avoid using the drawing to communicate precise information.
