Find and copy emojis instantly using our online emoji picker. Browse by category, search by name, and copy emojis as characters, unicode, HTML entities, or JS escape codes.
What is an Emoji Picker?
An Emoji Picker is an interactive utility that lets you quickly browse, search, and copy emojis for use in messages, documents, code, or social media. Emojis have become a standard part of communication, and this tool makes finding the perfect symbol easy by categorization and smart keyword search.
Support for Multiple Formats
For developers and content creators, copying the emoji character itself is not always enough. This tool provides multiple code representations:
- Emoji Character: The raw symbol (e.g. 😀) ready to paste into any modern text input.
- Unicode Code Point: The official hexadecimal identifier (e.g. U+1F600) defined by the Unicode Consortium.
- HTML Entity (Hex & Decimal): Code formats used to safely render emojis on webpages (e.g.
😀or😀). - JavaScript Escape Code: Syntax used inside JavaScript strings (e.g.
\u{1F600}) to reference characters programmatically.
Organized Categories for Fast Browsing
Our emoji keyboard splits all standard emojis into their official groups:
- Smileys & Emotion: Classic faces, gestures, and hearts.
- People & Body: Human figures, skin tones, and family groups.
- Animals & Nature: Mammals, birds, insects, plants, and weather elements.
- Food & Drink: Fruits, vegetables, meals, desserts, and beverages.
- Travel & Places: Transport vehicles, buildings, maps, and astronomical bodies.
- Activities: Sports, games, music, arts, and hobbies.
- Objects: Household items, office tools, clothes, and electronics.
- Symbols: Badges, math operators, signs, and indicators.
- Flags: National flags and special banners.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I search for a specific emoji?
Type key terms into the search bar at the top (such as "happy", "cat", "heart", or "fire"). The grid will filter automatically to show matches.
What happens when I click an emoji in the grid?
Clicking an emoji copies it directly to your clipboard as a raw character and displays its technical codes in the detail panel.
What are HTML entities for emojis?
HTML entities are codes used in HTML documents to represent special characters. Hexadecimal and decimal representations (like 😀) ensure emojis render correctly on browsers even if the source file encoding is not set to UTF-8.
Does this tool support skin tone modifiers?
This picker lists standard base emojis. When you copy them, they can be styled or combined in supporting platforms.
