Contact us

EmojiDB is a small project, and there is a person on the other end of this address. Write in English and we will reply.

Or use the form

Same inbox, fewer decisions about what to write. The form is hosted by Google — seewhat happens to what you send below if you would rather not involve them.

What to write about

• 🐛

  Something is wrong

  A codepoint that does not match, a shortcode that fails in Discord, a meaning that reads as nonsense, a page that renders as grey boxes. Tell us the URL and what you saw — corrections take priority over everything else.

• 🔎

  Something is missing

  We cover Emoji 17.0, but a collection you searched for may not exist yet. Tell us what you looked for and what you expected to find; requests with a real search behind them are how the next batch gets chosen.

• 📊

  Using our data

  Emoji, their names and their codepoints come from the Unicode CLDR and are free for anyone to use — take them from emojibase rather than scraping us. For anything involving our own writing or curation, ask first.

• 🤝

  Everything else

  Press, partnerships, a bug in the site itself, or a question these pages did not answer.

What happens to what you send

Worth being straight about. Every page here is a static file, and the only third-party code on the site is Google Analytics, which counts page views and is described in our Privacy Policy. Your searches are not part of that — they run in your browser and are never sent anywhere.

The form above is the exception. It is a Google Form in an iframe, because a form we hosted ourselves would need the server and the database this site deliberately does not have. When it loads, Google may set cookies and will see your IP address and browser details, the same as if you had opened the form on Google's own site. What you type goes to Google and reaches us through them.

If you would rather Google were not involved, email us instead — it reaches the same place. Either way, our Privacy Policy sets out what we hold, which is nothing you did not choose to send.

Before you write

Two things we are asked often enough to answer here. Why does an emoji look different on my phone? Because your device draws it, not us — the same character is drawn by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung in their own way. Why is an emoji a grey box? Because that character is newer than the fonts installed on your device; it will appear when the device updates.
