About the project

A reference for emoji and symbols in nine languages, built on the Unicode standard and open image sets.

What we do

We keep a reference for emoji and symbols: what each one means, where it came from, how it is drawn on different systems and how to copy it in one tap.

Where the data comes from

Characters, names and keywords come from the Unicode standard and the CLDR set of localised names. We do not invent characters and do not renumber them: our catalogue holds exactly what Unicode 17.0 recommends.

What is in the catalogue

  • 3,953 emoji with meanings, keywords and developer codes;
  • 3,052 symbols outside the emoji set — arrows, chess, notes, Braille;
  • 240 kaomoji, the only content type we draw up ourselves;
  • 65 collections by theme and by date;
  • nine languages, each with its own addresses and its own texts.

Images

We show three open sets — Noto Color Emoji, OpenMoji and Twemoji — and keep them as files, so a card looks the same regardless of your device. Each set stays under its own licence.

Who runs it

A small independent team. There is no company behind the site, no advertising and no paid placements. Write to info@onlineemoji.com with corrections, requests or questions.
