Emoji are characters, not pictures. Each one here is a code point, or a short sequence of them, defined by the Unicode Standard, so you can paste it into a message, a spreadsheet or a file name like any letter. The picture you see is drawn by your deviceโs emoji font, which is why the same ๐ looks a little different on an iPhone, an Android phone and a Windows PC.
The list follows the nine groups and the order Unicode publishes, from Smileys & Emotion to Flags. Names come from Unicode CLDR, the shared data that software uses to name and search emoji. The whole list is on this page, and the group buttons above it jump straight to a group.
Search matches English names and keywords, so heart, thanks or party all find something, and the Chinese version of this page also searches Chinese names. Paste an emoji into the box to look up its name. What you copy goes to Recently used in this browser. Turn on Pick favorites and choose emoji to save them to Favorites, along with everything else you have saved on this site.
Some emoji are sequences joined behind the scenes: a family, a profession with a gender, a flag built from two regional letters. Copying keeps every hidden joiner and variation selector, so it pastes as one emoji wherever the app supports it. Pick a skin tone above the list and the people and hand emoji that have skin tones switch to it, and copying and saving keep the tone you picked.
Frequently asked questions
- Why do some flags show as two letters on Windows?
- The emoji font that comes with Windows has no flags, so ๐ฏ๐ต appears as the regional letters J and P it is made of. What you copied is complete: paste it into an app or browser that draws flags, or look at it on a phone, and it shows as a flag.
- Can I pick a skin tone?
- Yes. Pick a tone above the list and every people and hand emoji that has skin tones switches to it, while the rest stay as they are. Emoji with two people, such as people holding hands, couples and kisses, use the same tone for both. Your choice is kept in this browser, and copying, Favorites and Recently used keep the exact tone you picked.
- Why does an emoji look different on my phone and my computer?
- Unicode defines what an emoji means, not exactly how it looks. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and others each draw their own, so the character you copy is identical everywhere while the artwork depends on the device and the app.
- Why do I see an empty box instead of an emoji?
- That device has no drawing for the emoji yet, usually because its system is older than the emoji. This page leaves out the newest emoji that many phones cannot show yet, and updating the operating system usually fixes the rest.
- Where do the names come from?
- The list comes from Unicode Emoji 17.0, and the names and keywords from Unicode CLDR 48.2, both ยฉ Unicode, Inc. and used under the Unicode License v3. They are shown exactly as CLDR publishes them.
