Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I copy an emoji from this picker?
- Simply click any emoji in the grid and it is instantly copied to your clipboard. You can choose the copy format using the dropdown: emoji character (default), HTML entity (e.g., 😀), or Unicode escape (e.g., \u{1F600}). A confirmation toast appears when copied successfully.
- What is a Unicode code point for an emoji?
- A Unicode code point is the unique numerical identifier assigned to every character in the Unicode standard. For example, the grinning face emoji 😀 has the code point U+1F600. Code points are written in hexadecimal prefixed with U+. Emojis typically use code points in the range U+1F000 to U+1FAFF.
- What is an HTML entity for an emoji?
- An HTML entity is a way to represent an emoji in HTML source code using its numeric code point. For example, 😀 can be written as 😀 (hexadecimal) or 😀 (decimal). HTML entities are useful when you need to ensure emojis display correctly in HTML documents or emails.
- How do emoji skin tones work?
- Emoji skin tones use Unicode modifier characters (U+1F3FB through U+1F3FF) appended after a base emoji to change its skin color. There are 5 skin tone options based on the Fitzpatrick scale, plus a default yellow. Not all emojis support skin tones — only human-related emojis like hands, people, and gestures.
- How many emojis are in Unicode?
- As of Unicode 15.1, there are over 3,700 emojis in the standard. This includes base emojis, skin tone variants, gender variants, and sequences (like flags and family groups). New emojis are added with each Unicode release, typically once per year. This picker includes 500+ of the most commonly used emojis.
- Why do emojis look different on different platforms?
- Each platform (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, etc.) designs its own emoji artwork for each Unicode code point. The Unicode standard defines what an emoji should represent but not how it should look. This is why the same emoji can look quite different across iOS, Android, Windows, and web browsers.
