# Emoji Finder

> Free, in-browser search over every Unicode emoji (Emoji 17.0, 1,900+ emoji and their skin-tone variants) by name, keyword, :shortcode: or code point. Copy any emoji as the character, a GitHub, Slack or Discord shortcode, an HTML entity, a U+ code point, or a JavaScript, Python or CSS escape. No sign-in, nothing sent to a server.

Price: free. No account needed. Runs entirely client-side.

## Search

- Words match emoji names, CLDR keywords and every shortcode: "party", "red heart", "flag japan".
- A :shortcode: finds that emoji on any platform: `:+1:`, `:tada:`, `:thumbsup_tone3:` (Discord), `:wave::skin-tone-4:` (Slack).
- A code point finds it directly: `U+1F680`, `1f680`, `0x1F680`, `🚀`, `\u{1F680}`.
- Paste one or more emoji to identify them, including family, flag, keycap and skin-tone sequences.
- Keyboard: `/` focuses search, Enter copies the top result, arrow keys move through the grid, Esc clears.
- Browse by category: smileys and emotion, people and body, animals and nature, food and drink, travel and places, activities, objects, symbols, flags.

## Shortcodes

- GitHub: the gemoji names GitHub Markdown renders (`:+1:`, `:tada:`). GitHub has no skin-tone codes; the toned emoji is copied as the character.
- Slack: Slack's names, with a tone written as a second code, `:+1::skin-tone-2:` (light) to `:+1::skin-tone-6:` (dark).
- Discord: Discord's names, with a tone as a suffix, `:thumbsup_tone1:` to `:thumbsup_tone5:`.
- Every alias for an emoji is listed in its detail panel, plus its Unicode CLDR short name.

## Copy formats

Emoji, GitHub / Slack / Discord shortcode, HTML hex entity (`👍`), HTML decimal entity (`👍`), U+ code points (`U+1F44D U+1F3FB`), JavaScript (`"\u{1F44D}"`), Python (`"\U0001F44D"`), CSS `content` escape, and UTF-8 bytes (`F0 9F 91 8D`). A click on any result copies the format chosen under "Click copies".

## Skin tones, recent and favourites

- Pick one of six skin tones once; every emoji that supports tones follows it, in the grid, the codes and the copied text.
- The last 24 copied emoji and any favourites are kept on this device (browser storage), not in an account.

## Convert text

- `:codes:` to emoji: replaces every known GitHub, Slack or Discord shortcode in a message, including tone codes, and lists any it did not recognise.
- Emoji to `:codes:`: rewrites every emoji in a message as GitHub, Slack or Discord shortcodes; emoji with no code on that platform are kept.

## Device support

Emoji newer than the device's emoji font are shown faded; they still copy correctly and appear for readers whose devices are up to date.

## Data

Names, keywords and GitHub / Slack shortcodes from emojibase-data 18.0.0 (MIT), which follows Unicode CLDR. Discord names from discord-emoji 2.5.3 (MIT).
