Browse Emoji
Every emoji is a standard Unicode character — it has a codepoint, an official name, HTML entities, UTF-8 bytes, and JavaScript escape sequences, just like any letter or symbol. The Unicode Consortium organizes emoji into 10 top-level groups. Click any group to browse its characters and get full encoding details, skin tone variants, and shortcodes for each one.

219About Unicode Emoji
Emoji are defined by the Unicode Standard and assigned to the Other Symbol (So) or
Other Letter (Lo) general category. The emoji group and subgroup names used here come
from the Unicode emoji-test.txt data file,
which is the authoritative source for emoji ordering and grouping. The Component group
contains modifier bases (skin tone modifiers, the zero-width joiner) used to construct sequences
— they don't render independently but combine with other emoji.
