About Emoji Trove

Emoji Trove is a fast, free emoji reference built around one thing: copying emojis in a single tap. Browse by category, search by keyword, read what each emoji means, or grab a whole themed set at once.

Where the content comes from

Emoji names, Unicode codepoints, groups and Emoji version numbers come directly from the public Unicode Standard and CLDR data, the same source every platform uses. Shortcodes are GitHub's, from the open emojibase dataset. The designs shown for each emoji are the openly licensed Twemoji, Google Noto and OpenMoji sets.

The meaning and usage text is written with AI assistance. Thirty-nine emojis have meanings we wrote by hand; the rest have not each been checked by a person, so treat them as a starting point and tell us when one is wrong.

Why every emoji is a real character

Every emoji here is a real Unicode character rendered by your own device, not an image. That means when you copy one, you copy the actual character, so it works everywhere: iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, WhatsApp, Discord, Instagram, TikTok and X. Emoji artwork belongs to each vendor (Apple, Google, Samsung and others).
