How to type emoji on a computer
On Windows 10/11, press Win + . (period) to open the emoji panel. On a Mac, press Control + Command + Space or the ๐/fn key. If an emoji shows up as an empty box (โก) or splits into several pictures (๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง as ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง), the device's system is too old to know it. Flag emojis appear as two letters (e.g. US) on Windows, which has no flag artwork.
FAQ
What's the difference between emoji and emoticons?
Emoji (๐) are picture characters defined by Unicode, so they work like letters in any app. Emoticons are faces built from punctuation, like :-) or (^_^). Text emoticons are collected in our special characters tool.
Why does the same emoji look different on different phones?
Unicode defines what an emoji means, but Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft each draw their own artwork, so ๐ looks slightly different on an iPhone and an Android phone.
