About this tool

What is the Emoji Palette?

The Emoji Palette is a searchable table of standard emoji based on the emoji-datasource data set (Emoji 15.1). Use it to find an emoji by keyword and copy it into a message, document or code, or to look up the official name and Unicode code point of an emoji you already have.

How to use

  1. Type a word into the filter box, for example heart, cat, flag or 1F600.
  2. The table narrows down as you type, and matching text in each column is highlighted.
  3. Click an emoji in the Emoji column to copy it to the clipboard. "Copied" appears under the filter box.

FAQ

Why does an emoji look different or show as a box?

Emoji are drawn by your operating system's font, so they look different on Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. Very new emoji may appear as a box or as separate characters on older systems.

Are skin tone variations listed?

No. The table lists the default (yellow) version of each emoji. Skin tones are separate modifier characters added after the base emoji.

Can I search in Japanese or other languages?

Not yet. Names and short names are in English, so search with English words or with the code point.
