1,298 Emoji Across Nine Categories
Find an emoji by its English name, a search alias, its literal sequence or a code point. The picker contains 1,298 distinct emoji entries across nine curated categories. Some entries appear in more than one category. The count describes this collection, rather than every Unicode emoji or skin-tone variant.
Choosing a result selects the complete string and requests Copy. Its name and code points remain visible for checking or manual copying. The tool does not draw emoji images or change the destination font. The picker is useful for name lookup of a known animal, object or country, for checking the code points of a flag or joined emoji that looks different after pasting, for reusing a confirmed copy from Recent, and for keeping a named emoji beside a plain-text label.
Search a name such as giraffe or India, or leave Search blank and choose a category. Choose a result. Check the selected name and code points, then wait for the Copy status. Paste a short test into the intended field. If Copy fails, select the complete value in Selected emoji and copy manually. Open Recent for up to twenty distinct confirmed copies, newest first. Use Clear Recent to remove that list.
How Search Matches and Recent Is Kept
English names come from the Unicode 17.0 emoji test data for every entry in this collection. Aliases such as love and happy also match. Search is case-insensitive substring matching over names, aliases and U+ notation, plus exact literal-emoji matching. It is not semantic search or a complete meaning dictionary. All matches are counted; Show more entries reveals the next 120.
Recent is updated only after the active clipboard request succeeds. Stored data is checked against this collection, deduplicated and limited to twenty entries. Malformed JSON or an unexpected data type gives an empty list instead of breaking the picker. If storage is blocked, the list can stay in memory for this visit. Other scripts on the same website origin can access local storage; it is not a private account vault or cross-device sync.
Five Searches in This Collection
| Query | Example match | Why it matches |
|---|---|---|
giraffe | Giraffe, U+1F992 | English name |
India | Flag: India, U+1F1EE U+1F1F3 | Country name |
laptop | Laptop, U+1F4BB | English name |
U+1F600 | Grinning face, U+1F600 | Code-point notation |
love | Red heart, U+2764 U+FE0F | Alias; other matches can appear |
A missing result means that this collection or its annotations did not match the query. For example, it does not include the medium-skin-tone thumbs-up sequence. Searching a literal unlisted sequence does not import it automatically.
Why a Result May Be Missing or Look Different
- A face, flag or joined figure can contain several code points even when it looks like one symbol, so select its complete value.
- A successful clipboard write does not prove that the receiving field accepts the sequence; missing fonts or older emoji support can show boxes or separate parts.
- Whitespace-only Search returns to category browsing.
- Search runs across the collection, including when Recent was selected.
- No-match search and empty Recent have separate messages.
- Clearing site data removes saved history; another browser profile has its own storage.
- Manual copies cannot be confirmed by this tool.
Try a short English name first, then an alias or code-point query. Check the selected name rather than relying only on the artwork. Keep a plain-text description for important meaning and test the actual destination before sharing.
