Emoji Search

Type a word and get every matching emoji, ready to copy. The search looks through each emoji’s official Unicode short name plus everyday keywords, so “party”, “love”, “cat” or “thumbs up” all work, and country names find flags. Paste an emoji instead of a word to find out what it is called.

How to use this tool

1. Type a word such as “heart”, “party” or a country name.
2. Add a second word to narrow the results — “blue heart” or “cat face”.
3. Pick a skin tone if you want hands and people in a particular tone.
4. Copy the best match, or select any emoji from the list or table.

Formula

Ranking: exact name > every word in the name > keyword match; shorter names first on a tie

Every search word must match the start of a word in the emoji’s name or keywords, or be a group name such as “food” or “flags”, so “smil” finds smiling faces but “ile” does not. Accents and capitals are ignored. Country flags take their names from the Unicode CLDR region list, so searches use names like “Japan” or “South Korea”.

Example

Searching heart returns 30 emoji. The best match is ❤️ red heart (U+2764 U+FE0F), followed by the other coloured hearts and faces such as 😍 smiling face with heart-eyes. Searching thumbs up with the dark tone returns 👍🏿, code points U+1F44D U+1F3FF.
