How it works

• Emoji up to Unicode Emoji 17.0 are included, and names and keywords come from Unicode CLDR. Search works in the page language and in English.
• Tapping an emoji shows its name, code points, the version it was added in and the parts it is made of, and lets you add it to favorites.
• Emoji look different on each device and app. "Hide emoji this device cannot show" leaves out emoji that this device's font cannot draw.
• Recently used items, favorites and the collected text are saved only in this browser.

Questions and answers

Why do some emoji show as boxes or question marks?

The device's font does not know that emoji yet. Updating the operating system may help, and it may still show correctly on the recipient's device.

Where can I see what an emoji means?

Tap the emoji to see its official Unicode name. For example, 🙏 is "folded hands". The meaning people give it in daily use can differ from the name.

What is the difference between emoji and kaomoji?

An emoji is a single picture character in Unicode. A kaomoji is a face built from several ordinary characters, such as (╯°□°)╯. They are on separate tabs.

Can I copy emoji with a different skin tone or gender?

Yes. After you choose a skin tone or gender, the emoji in the list change to that form and are copied as shown. Emoji without that option stay unchanged.
