Tips for Using Emojis

Click any emoji to copy it to your clipboard. Then paste it into a text field or message.
Type an emoji name (e.g. heart, cat) in the search box to filter the list.
Each emoji has a Unicode codepoint like U+1F600. It's shown in the copy confirmation popup.
Flag emojis are encoded as pairs of Regional Indicator Symbols (RIS) based on ISO 3166-1 codes. They may not render on some systems (notably Windows).
Skin-tone variants are not included here. Use your OS keyboard or emoji picker for those.

FAQ

The target application or font may not support emoji. On Windows, "Segoe UI Emoji" is the emoji font; on macOS/iOS, it's "Apple Color Emoji." Older software and some email clients may not display emoji.

A codepoint is an emoji's unique number in Unicode. For example, 😀 is U+1F600. In HTML you can write it as 😀.

Windows deliberately does not render most country flag emoji (for political reasons). macOS, iOS, and Android display them correctly.

Side Note — Emoji Origins and Unicode

Emoji were invented in 1999 by Shigetaka Kurita at NTT DoCoMo for their i-mode mobile service — 176 tiny icons squeezed into 12×12 pixels. The word is Japanese: 絵 (e = picture) + 文字 (moji = character). It happens to sound like the English word "emotion," but that's a coincidence.

In 2010, the Unicode Consortium added emoji to Unicode 6.0, and they spread worldwide with the smartphone boom. As of Unicode 16.0, more than 3,800 emoji are standardized.

Each platform — Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung — draws its own designs for the same codepoint, which is why 😂 looks different on iPhone vs. Android. Skin tone support (the Fitzpatrick scale) was added in 2015, and gender-neutral emoji arrived in 2019.
