Rounding up the emojisโฆ
Paste an emoji (or a whole message full of them) and see what each one is called. Get the official Unicode name, codepoint, category, and a link to the full wiki entry for every emoji.
Someone sends you an emoji you have never seen before. Or you want to reference a specific emoji by name in writing. Or a screen reader is reading out an unfamiliar emoji description and you want to know what it looks like. That is what this tool is for.
Every emoji has an official name assigned by the Unicode Consortium. These names are the canonical reference โ "Face with Tears of Joy" (๐), "Pile of Poo" (๐ฉ), "Person Shrugging" (๐คท). Platforms sometimes display slightly different names, but the Unicode name is the standard.
This converter also shows the codepoint (the hexadecimal number that identifies each emoji in Unicode), which is useful for developers, designers, and anyone working with emoji at a technical level. For compound emoji like ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ (family), you will see the full sequence of codepoints including the Zero Width Joiner characters that glue them together.
Need codepoints for CSS, HTML entities, or regex patterns. Paste the emoji, grab the U+ code.
Verify that emoji names match expected screen reader output. Check that alt text is accurate.
Need the official name of an emoji for articles or reports. "The most popular emoji of 2025 is Face with Tears of Joy" reads better than "the laughing crying one."
Received a weird emoji and want to know what it means? Paste it here and get the full breakdown.
Paste any text containing emoji into the input field. The converter identifies each emoji character in your text and looks up its official Unicode name, codepoint, and category from our database of 1,800+ emoji. Results appear instantly โ no server calls, everything runs in your browser.
For simple emoji like ๐ (Grinning Face, U+1F600), you get a single codepoint. For compound emoji like ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง (Family: Man, Woman, Girl), the converter shows the full sequence of codepoints joined by Zero Width Joiners. This is particularly useful for developers who need to understand how complex emoji are constructed under the hood.
The tool also handles skin tone variants, flag sequences, and keycap emoji. Each result links to the full wiki entry where you can see platform comparisons, usage statistics, and detailed history for that emoji.
