- Click an emoji to copy it to your clipboard.
- Paste the emoji into any application, document, or message.
Key Concepts
Emojis are Unicode characters organized into categories: Smileys, People, Animals, Food, Travel, Activities, Objects, Symbols, and Flags. Each emoji has an official Unicode name and one or more code points. Skin tone modifiers (Fitzpatrick scale) can be applied to human emojis. New emojis are added annually by the Unicode Consortium.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will copied emojis work everywhere?
Emojis are standard Unicode characters and work in most modern applications and websites. Very new emojis may not display on older operating systems that lack the font updates.
How do I find a specific emoji quickly?
Use the search feature with descriptive keywords. For example, searching “fire” finds both the fire emoji and related emojis. Try synonyms if your first search does not find what you need.
Why do some emojis look different on my device?
Each operating system and platform renders emoji with their own art style. The underlying Unicode character is the same, but the visual design varies between Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other platforms.
