How an emoji is built

One emoji on screen can be one character or a short sequence of them. These are the ways Unicode puts them together.

EmojiHow it is madeCode points
πŸ”₯ A single character. Most emoji are one code point. U+1F525
❀️ A symbol plus Variation Selector-16 (U+FE0F), which asks for the colour emoji instead of the plain text heart ❀. U+2764 U+FE0F
πŸ‘πŸ½ An emoji plus a skin tone modifier. The five tones are U+1F3FB to U+1F3FF. U+1F44D U+1F3FD
πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» Emoji joined by the Zero Width Joiner (U+200D). A device that doesn’t know the combination shows the parts side by side: πŸ§‘πŸ’». U+1F9D1 U+200D U+1F4BB
πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ A flag: two regional indicator letters, J and P, the country’s code. U+1F1EF U+1F1F5
1️⃣ A keycap: a digit, U+FE0F and the combining enclosing keycap (U+20E3). U+0031 U+FE0F U+20E3
🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A subdivision flag: a black flag, invisible tag letters spelling gbsct (Scotland), and a cancel tag. U+1F3F4 U+E0067 U+E0062 U+E0073 U+E0063 U+E0074 U+E007F

About emoji and Unicode

Something else? Write to [email protected]. A real person reads every message and every one gets a reply.

What is the Unicode for the fire emoji πŸ”₯?
πŸ”₯ is U+1F525. In HTML write 🔥 or 🔥, in CSS \1F525, in JavaScript "\u{1F525}" and in Python "\U0001f525". Its shortcode is :fire:.
How do I put an emoji in HTML?
Save the page as UTF-8, and say so with a charset meta tag in its head, then paste the emoji straight into the HTML. Or write its numeric code, like 🔥 for πŸ”₯, which works whatever the page’s encoding.
How do I use an emoji in CSS?
Put its code points in the content of a pseudo-element, each as a backslash and the hex number: content: "\1F525"; shows πŸ”₯. For a sequence, write every code point in a row, as the CSS line of each result above does.
Why is an emoji’s length 2 or more in JavaScript?
JavaScript counts UTF-16 code units, and every emoji outside the first 65,536 characters takes two. A sequence counts each of its parts, so "❀️‍πŸ”₯".length is 5. To count characters the way people see them, use Intl.Segmenter.
What is U+FE0F?
Variation Selector-16, an invisible character that asks for the emoji style of the character before it. ❀ followed by U+FE0F shows as the colour ❀️; without it, some systems draw the plain text heart.
What is a ZWJ emoji sequence?
Several emoji joined by the invisible Zero Width Joiner (U+200D) into one: πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» is πŸ§‘, U+200D and πŸ’». Devices that know the combination draw a single emoji; others show the parts side by side.
