WHAT IT DOES

The symbol, its name, and the code point beside it.

Search the full emoji set and the Unicode symbol blocks a developer actually reaches for -- arrows, mathematics, punctuation, currency, box drawing, geometric shapes and technical symbols -- by name, character, category, or code point. Results show the visible character together with Unicode, decimal, hexadecimal, UTF-8, and CSS escape forms.

Why use it?

Use it to identify or copy symbols and complete emoji sequences, including characters whose visible shape hides more than one code point.

How to use this tool

  1. Search by name, category, character, or code point, such as rocket or U+1F680.
  2. Copy the character or the encoding your destination needs. Test its display in the actual font and platform; identical code points need not look identical everywhere.

Details and limitations

  • Search accepts names such as rocket, characters such as →, and code-point forms such as U+1F680 or 1f680.
  • Emoji sequences remain intact as one copyable entry when the visible symbol uses more than one Unicode scalar value.
  • Every fully-qualified emoji sequence is included, grouped by the Unicode categories used in emoji pickers, alongside the symbol blocks; letters and digits are left out because they belong to writing rather than to a symbol reference.
  • The reference is a versioned snapshot of the Unicode Character Database shipped with the page; it is not a network lookup.
  • Copy a character, code point, or UTF-8 byte sequence without putting the search phrase or result into a URL.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Unicode & Emoji questions

Can I search by a Unicode code point?
Yes. Search with U+ notation or hexadecimal digits, for example U+1F680 or 1F680. The result includes the visible character and copyable code-point forms.
Why can one emoji have more than one code point?
Some emoji are sequences joined from multiple Unicode scalars, such as a base symbol plus a variation selector or a joined family sequence. The tool keeps the sequence together so copying it preserves what you see.
