Emoji: 🤰🏽 - Unicode codes and encoding

Emojis (from Japanese 絵文字, meaning 'picture character') are Unicode pictographs that can be used in any text, just like regular letters and numbers. They are standardized by the Unicode Consortium and work across all modern operating systems, browsers and applications.

Key features of emojis:

• Universal compatibility: Emojis work on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and in web browsers
• Scalable: As Unicode characters, emojis are vector-based and scale to any size without quality loss
• Platform variations: Each platform (Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.) has its own emoji design, so appearance may vary
• Multiple encodings: Emojis can be represented as Unicode codepoints (U+1F600), HTML entities (😀), or URL-encoded (%F0%9F%98%80)

For HTML-encoded special characters like Greek letters (μ), arrows (⇑) and quotes («»), see the HTML character map.

Copy and paste: Click on any emoji to see its details, then copy the character or code you need.

In HTML: Use the Unicode codepoint like 😀 or paste the emoji directly.

In URLs: Use the URL-encoded version like %F0%9F%98%80 for query parameters.

In domain names: Use punycode encoding for emoji domains (e.g., 💩.la becomes xn--ls8h.la).
