What Is the Emoji Picker & Search?

The Emoji Picker & Search contains 462 curated Unicode emojis across eight categories. Names and search terms follow the active English or Chinese locale, while a search for the emoji character itself also works. Copying uses the browser clipboard, and up to 20 recent choices stay only in local browser storage.

How to Use the Emoji Picker

  1. 1Browse the emoji grid or use the search bar to filter emojis by name (e.g. 'smile', 'heart', 'fire').
  2. 2Click a category tab to narrow the grid to a specific emoji group.
  3. 3Hover over any emoji to see a large preview and its name.
  4. 4Click an emoji to copy it to your clipboard — a 'Copied!' confirmation will appear.
  5. 5Check the 'Recent' tab to quickly access emojis you have used before.

How many emojis are included?

The catalogue contains exactly 462 curated emojis across eight categories: Smileys & People, Animals & Nature, Food & Drink, Activities, Travel & Places, Objects, Symbols, and Flags.

Are my recently used emojis saved?

Yes. Your last 20 used emojis are stored in your browser's localStorage and persist across sessions. They appear under the 'Recent' category tab for quick access.

Do emojis render the same on all devices?

Emojis are Unicode characters, so they are supported everywhere. However, their visual appearance varies by operating system and browser — Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Samsung each have their own emoji designs.
