javascript error unexpected identifier in text with emoji code [duplicate]

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.

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
