Emojis

EmojiKeyboard.io lets you quickly copy and paste emojis. We made it because we wanted to have a handy tool which can quickly allow people to write down with their computer keyboard and let them add emojis to it. The majority of the emojis used worldwide are positive. Top 5 most popular emoji categories worldwide: 1. Happy faces (including wink ๐Ÿ˜‰, kisses ๐Ÿ˜˜, face with heart-shaped eyes ๐Ÿ˜, smirk ๐Ÿ˜€) 2. Sad faces (including sad and angry emoji) 3. Hearts (includes all colors and the broken heart emoji) 4.

A saluting face, biting lip, coral and a low battery are among the emojis up for approval later in the year. These are currently draft candidates for the next emoji release versioned Emoji 14.0.

Other inclusions on the draft list are consistent gender options for pregnancy and royalty, 'heart hands', and the ability to choose from 15 different handshake combinations.

With #WorldEmojiDay on ๐Ÿ“… July 17, we take a look at what the next emoji update might bring.

As this is only a draft emoji list, each emoji is subject to change prior to final approval in September 2021.

You can vote for which you are most looking forward to in the Most Anticipated Emoji award, being drawn on July 17 aka World Emoji Day.

Designs shown here are Emojipedia Sample Images, just one way in which these emojis might look. Actual vendor designs will vary from those released by major vendors, and Emojipedia's own sample images may also be updated when Emoji 14.0 final is released.

See also, the Unicode 14.0 draft release notes, and draft emoji candidates page. The latter includes recommended keywords and proposal documents.

Expect to see more about this later in the year when the final version of Unicode 14.0 and Emoji 14.0 is released on September 14.

In past years, the majority of draft emoji candidates end up included on the final list. This list in particular has been worked on for a longer period of time, after Unicode 14.0 was delayed due to COVID-19.

A few notes on some of the entries:

  • Hand with Index Finger and Thumb Crossed can serve as either the finger heart gesture popular with K-Pop fans, or any other gesture that uses the index finger and thumb, such as 'money'.
  • Coral is commonly used as an icon to discuss climate change, given the impact of rising global temperatures on coral reefs.
  • Person with Crown is a gender-inclusive alternative to the existing emojis for ๐Ÿ‘ธ Princess and ๐Ÿคด Prince.
  • Pregnant Man and Pregnant Person are new, and recognize that pregnancy is possible for some transgender men and non-binary people. These are additions to the existing ๐Ÿคฐ Pregnant Woman emoji.
  • The above additions will mean that nearly all emojis can have default a gender neutral option, with choice to use a woman or man where relevant. A few exceptions remain, which are being reviewed, as per this Unicode Emoji Subcommittee report from 2020.
  • Face with Open Eyes and Hand Over Mouth is intended fix an issue where the existing emoji ๐Ÿคญ Face with Hand Over Mouth appears to be laughing on most platforms, but shows with serious (non-'smiling') eyes on Apple devices, leading to confusion of intent in tweets like this:

When will you get the new emojis? Two parts to this:

  1. It is yet to be confirmed which emojis are in the final version of Emoji 14.0. The final version is likely to resemble this draft list, and no new emojis will be added at this stage. But there's always a remote possibility of a change or removal ahead of September
  2. Release dates for emoji support always vary by operating system, app, or device.

Expect to see some companies come out with early emoji support in late 2021, and the majority of updates to take place in the first half of 2022.

The most recent emoji update โ€“ Emoji 13.1 โ€“ was approved in September 2020, and came to Pixel phones in December 2020, and iOS in April 2021.

Many other Android phones, including Samsung devices, still don't have emojis from that release, potentially as a result of Unicode's new release schedule.

Voting is now open for the Most Anticipated Emoji award.

This isn't a part of the approval process, just a fun way to gauge which draft emojis people are most keen to use. So get voting, and the winner will be revealed on July 17 aka World Emoji Day.

Vote now and follow the results on Twitter.

Emojis are characters from the UTF-8 character set: ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ’—

What are Emojis?

Emojis look like images, or icons, but they are not.

They are letters (characters) from the UTF-8 (Unicode) character set.

UTF-8 covers almost all of the characters and symbols in the world.

The HTML charset Attribute

To display an HTML page correctly, a web browser must know the character set used in the page.

This is specified in the <meta> tag:

Emojis For Discord

If not specified, UTF-8 is the default character set in HTML.

UTF-8 Characters

Many UTF-8 characters cannot be typed on a keyboard,but they can always be displayed using numbers (called entity numbers):

  • A is 65
  • B is 66
  • C is 67

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset='UTF-8'>
</head>
<body>
<p>I will display A B C</p>
<p>I will display &#65; &#66; &#67;</p>
</body>
</html>
Emojis copy and pasteTry it Yourself ยป

Example Explained

The <meta charset='UTF-8'> element defines the character set.

Emojis Facebook

The characters A, B, and C, are displayed by the numbers 65, 66, and 67.

All emojis

To let the browser understand that you are displaying a character, you must start the entity numberwith &# and end it with ; (semicolon).

Since Emojis are characters, they can be copied, displayed,and sized just like any other character in HTML.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset='UTF-8'>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Sized Emojis</h1>
