The emodji.com Emoji Wiki covers every emoji in the Unicode Standard. With over 3,700 emoji available across platforms, finding the right one and understanding its meaning can be more complex than it seems at first glance. Our wiki helps you explore this colorful world of digital expression — look up a single character or browse entire categories.
Each emoji entry includes its official Unicode name, a plain-language description, practical usage examples, and creative combinations you can copy and paste. We cover how emoji are used in real conversations — not just their technical definitions. Looking for the perfect reaction? Trying to decode a message from a friend? Picking emoji for a social media post or a creative project? You will find what you need here. We also explain how the same emoji can carry different meanings depending on context, culture, and even the platform it is displayed on, since Apple, Google, Samsung, and Microsoft each design their own artwork for every character.
Browse by category below — from smileys and people to flags of every country — or use the search to find specific emoji by name or keyword. You can also test your emoji knowledge with our free games like Find the Pair and Guess the Country.

The most searched and frequently used emoji across messaging apps and social media.
Emoji have evolved far beyond simple smiley faces. Today's Unicode Standard includes emoji for professions, activities, flags of every nation, food from dozens of cuisines, and symbols representing diverse identities and cultures. Each new release adds carefully selected emoji based on proposals from people around the world.
What makes emoji particularly fascinating is how their meanings shift across cultures and generations. The 🙏 emoji might mean “prayer” in one context and “thank you” or “high five” in another. The 💀 emoji has been adopted by younger generations to express extreme laughter rather than anything morbid. Our wiki entries capture these real-world usage patterns alongside official definitions.

Technically, emoji are Unicode characters — just like letters and numbers. They can appear differently on Apple, Google, Samsung, and Microsoft platforms because each company designs its own artwork for each character. You can compare designs across platforms on Emojipedia. This is why an emoji sent from an iPhone might look slightly different when received on an Android phone. The W3C web standards ensure emoji render correctly in browsers. Understanding these cross-platform differences is key to effective digital communication.
