javascript error unexpected identifier in text with emoji code

Question

The following line of js code is producing an unexpected identifier error, how might I correct this?

var bd_msg  = "<div>Have a great day!</div><div><br></div><div><span id="emoji_1f600"></span></div><div>From all of us.</div>";

Error reported is: Unexpected identfier 'emoji_1f600'. Expected ';' after variable declaration.

You cannot wrap the same kinds of quotes – mplungjan Sep 08 '20 at 12:14 — mplungjan, Sep 08 '20 at 12:14
you need to escape the `"` inside the string, `\"` – Derlin Sep 08 '20 at 12:14 — Derlin, Sep 08 '20 at 12:14

var bd_msg  = "<div>Have a great day!</div><div><br></div><div><span id='emoji_1f600'></span></div><div>From all of us.</div>";

the double quote in between broke the string
