Emoji copy and paste

How to use

1. Type in the search box. The placeholder says Search by name, for example heart, fire, thumb, flag. The grid filters to names that match.
2. Or click a category tab. The groups include smileys, people, animals, food, activities, travel, objects, symbols, flags, and skin tones.
3. Click one emoji. That character is copied. Paste with Ctrl+V on Windows or Command+V on Mac. The page does not insert it into another site for you.

When it helps

The page is meant for a computer, where the system emoji panel is harder to open than on a phone. Search is the short path when you know a word such as fire or thumb. Tabs are the path when you want to browse. Skin-tone variants sit in their own section so the people list stays shorter. Flags include country flags.

A text arrow, star, or check that is not emoji art belongs on Symbols, where one click copies one character. A whole word in bold or script lookalikes belongs on Instagram Fonts. Those rows are not extra emoji tabs, and they do not share this search box.

Limits

The artwork changes by platform. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other apps draw the same character differently. What you see here is this browser's drawing, not a picture file attached to the copy.

Component-only code points are left out, including a tone modifier sitting alone with nothing to modify. The groups above are the working set. Do not expect every future emoji. A later Unicode release does not appear here on its own. Search matches names in this set, not a description you invent.
