Complete Unicode coverage
Every emoji from the latest Unicode emoji spec, grouped into ten categories with mood tags and color filters layered on top.
One-click copy
Tap any emoji card to copy the character to your clipboard. Paste anywhere — chats, captions, code, design tools.
Fast search, no signup
MiniSearch-powered fuzzy search across names, shortcodes, themes, and moods. The whole index runs in your browser.
Private by default
No accounts. Favorites and recents live in your browser only. We do not store or sync your shortlist anywhere.
Visual color filters
Color tags derived from real Twemoji pixel analysis — filter by red, blue, brown, pink, rainbow, skin tone, and more.
Pairings + meanings
Each emoji ships with a description, codepoint, related variants, and curated combos ("Goes Great With") for context.
How the data is built
Source data comes from the official Unicode emoji list, enriched with shortcodes and search tags from the gemoji project. New emojis missing from the base list (melting face, saluting face, pink heart, palms, and other 2022+ additions) are merged in automatically so coverage stays current.
Color classification is derived from real Twemoji pixel data: each emoji’s PNG is analyzed in HSL space and bucketed into 12 perceptual color groups (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, white, gray, rainbow / multi). Skin-tone variants get their own color tags too so you can filter by tone independently.
Search runs entirely in the browser via MiniSearch with fuzzy matching, prefix matching, and field-weighted ranking over names, shortcodes, themes, and moods.
Three ways to find an emoji
- By category — Smileys, People & Body, Animals, Food, Travel, Activities, Objects, Symbols, Flags, or Components. Each category page has a sticky subcategory rail for fast jumping inside large groups.
- By tag — cross-category collections grouped by mood or theme (love, fire, money, sport, party, weather, music, danger). Tag pages add a color filter rail so you can narrow an entire vibe down to one tone.
- By search — type any keyword, shortcode, or paste an emoji directly into the header search to look it up.
Product direction
DBEmoji keeps growing alongside the Unicode emoji spec. Whenever the consortium ships a new release, the data pipeline picks up additions automatically and refreshes color tags, search index, and SEO metadata.
Planned additions include emoji history pages, themed packs for designers, and richer cross-platform rendering previews. Feedback is welcome via the report-issues link in the sidebar.
