A single code point. One backspace deletes it.

Gestures split by country: the same picture is praise in one place and an insult in another. Each entry says where.

Using emojis

  • Tap the character to copy it and paste it anywhere — it is text, not an image, so its size follows the font around it.
  • Sender and receiver on different devices see different drawings. Apple, Google and Samsung each draw their own, and for some emojis that changes the meaning (🙃, 😅).
  • At work, an emoji standing in for a sentence invites misreading. In some countries a bare 👍 reads as a brush-off.
  • Putting emojis in a page title does not help search ranking — they are usually stripped from the result.
  • Skin-tone variants are not listed here. Only the base form is, because the meaning does not change with them.
