How do I copy an emoji to my clipboard?

Click any emoji in the grid to open its detail panel, then click the Copy button next to the emoji character. You can also copy the HTML entity, CSS escape, or Markdown shortcode from the same panel.

What is the Unicode codepoint shown in the detail panel?

The codepoint is the unique number assigned to each emoji in the Unicode standard, displayed in the U+XXXX format (for example, U+1F600 for the grinning face). Developers use this to reference emojis precisely in source code.

How do I use an emoji in HTML?

Paste the emoji character directly into your HTML, or use the numeric HTML entity shown in the detail panel (for example, 😀 for the grinning face). Both forms render identically in all modern browsers.

Does this tool save my recently used emojis?

Yes. The last 24 emojis you clicked are saved in your browser's localStorage and shown in a "Recently Used" row at the top of the grid. The list is private to your browser and never sent to a server.
