How do I copy a sports emoji?

Click any emoji card in the grid. The character is copied to your clipboard immediately and a confirmation briefly appears on the card.

What does the codepoint under each emoji mean?

It is the Unicode codepoint (or codepoint sequence) that makes up the emoji, shown in U+XXXX format. Multi-part emoji, like a person playing a sport, show every codepoint in the sequence.

Why do some sports emoji show more than one codepoint?

Emoji built from a base figure plus a variation selector or gender sign, such as a running person, are combined from several codepoints, so the browser renders one image from multiple parts.

Does this list include every sports emoji in Unicode?

No. This is a curated set of commonly used sports and athletics emoji, from ball games to medals. For skin tone or gender variants of a specific emoji, check the Unicode emoji chart directly.

Will these emoji look the same on every device?

The character and codepoint are standard, but the artwork differs by platform. A soccer ball shown here may render with Apple, Google, or Microsoft styling depending on the device.
