表情符号从mysql数据库中检索

Question

I want to retrieve emoji from mysql db, it is stored as &#x1f601 in mysql. When I am trying to retrieve it is printing as &#x1f601 directly from # symbol, i.e #x1f601 is printing as a link. How can I display smiley in place of &x1f601

echo $_POST['value'] is the code I am using to retrieve it
