What Emoji Is This?
Paste any emoji below and this page tells you what it is: the official Unicode name, the category it belongs to, the version it shipped in, its codepoint and the shortcode you would type in Slack, Discord or GitHub. It works for flags, symbols and multi-part sequences too, not just faces.

The emoji people most often cannot name
These are the emoji most frequently searched on their own, with no words attached, by people who reached this site. The counts come from our own Google Search Console data between 1 May and 17 August 2026, and they are a decent proxy for which emoji are genuinely hard to recognise. Flags dominate, which makes sense: a rectangle of colour gives you very little to go on.

How to identify an emoji
1.Copy the emoji
Long-press it on a phone, or select and copy it on a desktop. One emoji on its own works best.
2.Paste it into the box
The answer appears as you paste. Nothing is sent anywhere, the lookup runs in your browser.
3.Read the details
You get the name, category, Unicode version, codepoint and shortcode for that exact character.
4.Go deeper if you want
Open the full page for the meaning, how people actually use it, and how it looks on every platform.
Why the same emoji looks different on your friendโs phone
Unicode defines what an emoji means, not what it looks like. Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft and WhatsApp each draw their own version, which is why a message can land very differently from how it was sent. The classic example is the grinning face with smiling eyes, which Apple once drew with a pained grimace while everyone else drew a cheerful smile.
Every emoji page here shows the design from five vendors side by side, so you can check what your message looks like to somebody else before you send it. Browse them from the full emoji list or jump straight to a category.
Questions about identifying emoji
How do I find out what an emoji means?+
Paste it into the box at the top of this page. You will get the official Unicode name straight away, and a link to the full page for that emoji where the meaning, tone and common uses are written out.
Why can I not identify a flag emoji?+
Flags are the hardest group by a wide margin, and they are the most-searched emoji on this site. Each one is built from two regional indicator letters, so a flag is really a country code rendered as a picture. Paste it and you get the country name immediately.
What is a codepoint, and why would I need it?+
It is the Unicode address of the character, written like U+1F3B2. Developers use it to reference an emoji in code or a database, where pasting the glyph itself can be unreliable. Multi-part emoji such as flags and family sequences have several codepoints joined together.
Does this work for emoji made of several parts?+
Yes. Flags, skin-tone variants and zero-width-joiner sequences such as couples and professions are all matched as whole units, so you get the name of the combined emoji rather than its separate pieces.
Is anything I paste here stored?+
No. The lookup runs entirely in your browser against a local list, so whatever you paste never leaves your device and nothing about it is recorded.
