Example
Example: a Thanksgiving line of emoji built from four searches
A message for the family group chat: โHappy Thanksgiving!โ followed by a turkey, a pie, a fallen leaf and folded hands in a medium-dark skin tone. Search each one by name; every emoji you tap is copied and added to Your emoji.
- The search reads names and keywords: ๐ฆ comes up for โthankโ because Thanksgiving is one of its keywords, and ๐ฅง for โpumpkinโ.
- Set Skin tone to Medium-dark before tapping ๐ and it is copied as ๐๐พ. Emoji without skin, like ๐ฆ and ๐ฅง, stay as they are.
- Your emoji now holds ๐ฆ๐ฅง๐๐๐พ. Press Copy all and paste it after your text.
| You search | What comes up | You tap |
|---|---|---|
| thank | 3: ๐ folded hands, ๐ซ people hugging, ๐ฆ turkey | ๐ฆ |
| pumpkin | 2: ๐ฅง pie, ๐ jack-o-lantern | ๐ฅง |
| leaf | 7, among them ๐ maple leaf and ๐ fallen leaf | ๐ |
| pray | 5, among them ๐ folded hands | ๐๐พ with Skin tone Medium-dark |
โHappy Thanksgiving! ๐ฆ๐ฅง๐๐๐พโ in the chat, and the four emoji wait at the front of Recently used on this device for the next message.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I type emoji on a computer?
- On Windows press Win + . (period); on a Mac, Ctrl + Cmd + Space. On phones, the emoji key of the keyboard. Copying from here works everywhere, including in forms that have no emoji button.
- Why does an emoji show as a box or two emoji?
- The device or app is older than that emoji. The newest ones (Unicode 15.1) need recent systems; a family or a couple may show as separate people on older ones.
- Where do the names come from?
- From the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR), the same names phones use โ so you can search in your own language.
- Do emoji look the same everywhere?
- No. The code is the same, but each system draws its own pictures, so a smile may look a little different on another phone.
- How do I find the American flag?
- Search โunited statesโ and ๐บ๐ธ comes up alone. โUSAโ and โAmerican flagโ find it too (with ๐ญ hot dog and ๐ฆ๐ธ American Samoa), as do โUKโ and โUAEโ for theirs, and each countryโs flag answers to its two-letter code: โus flagโ, โjpโ.
- Why does a search show emoji that donโt seem to match?
- Any part of a name or keyword counts, so โpieโ finds ๐ฅง pie but also ๐งฉ puzzle piece and ๐ฉฑ one-piece swimsuit. Type a longer word, or two words, to narrow it: every word you type has to match.
- Is anything sent anywhere?
- No. Emoji are copied in your browser; the recently used ones stay on this device.
