Emoji and symbols that work everywhere
Emoji are standardized by the Unicode Consortium, so a copied emoji is real text that works in messages, social posts, documents and code. Their look depends on the device: Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung each draw their own versions. This picker includes emoji up to version 15.1, which current phones and computers display.
Symbols like →, ✓, ★, ©, €, ½ and ° are ordinary text characters that work in plain text fields where images cannot go, such as usernames, spreadsheets and email subjects. Kaomoji are text faces built from characters, like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Your recently used emoji are remembered in this browser for quick access. On Windows you can also open the built-in panel with Windows key + period, and on a Mac with Control + Command + Space.
