How do I find an emoji by keyword instead of scrolling?

Type any word from its name into the search box, such as "fire" or "laptop", and the grid filters to matching emojis immediately, or narrow further with the category dropdown.

Does this include the newest emoji, or an older set?

It uses a bundled Unicode emoji dataset shipped with the tool. If a very recent emoji from your OS isn't listed, the dataset hasn't been updated to that Unicode revision yet.

What happens when I click an emoji?

The character is copied straight to your clipboard using the browser's clipboard API, and a confirmation message shows briefly so you know the copy succeeded before you paste it.

Does searching for an emoji send anything over the network?

No, the emoji list and search both run against data bundled with the page, so your search terms and clipboard copies never leave your browser.

Search the whole emoji set by name

This tool lists the current Unicode emoji set, searchable by name or category, so you can find the right character without scrolling through your OS picker or hunting for a code point on a reference site. It's handy for writing commit messages, Slack statuses, or UI copy that needs a specific symbol. The dataset is bundled with the page, so search and copy work without a network request.

How to use the Emoji Picker

Type a search term, such as "rocket" or "heart", into the search box.
Narrow results with the group dropdown if you know the emoji's category.
Click any emoji tile to copy that character to your clipboard.
Watch for the "Copied" confirmation under the search bar before pasting.

Search matches against each emoji's official name and its slug (the underscored short name), so both "grinning face" and "grinning_face" style queries work. Results are capped at 300 tiles at a time; narrow your search or pick a group to find less common entries.
