Emoji Unicode Codepoint Lookup

How it is calculated

In emoji-to-codepoint mode the text is split into individual Unicode characters, and each one is printed as U+ followed by its hexadecimal value, padded to at least four digits and in capitals. Nothing is grouped: a skin-tone emoji, a flag or a family emoji is shown as several codepoints. The tool also reports count, the number of codepoints, and first, the decimal value of the first one.

In codepoint-to-emoji mode, separate the values with spaces or commas. Each may carry a U+ or U prefix or none, in upper or lower case, such as 1f600. A value must be at most six hex digits, no larger than 10FFFF, and not in the surrogate range D800 to DFFF; otherwise there is no result. Prefixes like 0x are not accepted.

Common mistakes

• Assuming one emoji means one codepoint: ❤️ is U+2764 plus an invisible variation selector U+FE0F, so the count is 2, and the family emoji 👨‍👩‍👧 gives 5 codepoints because of the zero-width joiners (U+200D) between its members.
• Typing the codepoint with a 0x prefix, or two codes glued together as U+1F600U+1F4A9: both give no result, so use U+1F600 U+1F4A9 with a space or comma.
• Entering ordinary words in codepoint-to-emoji mode: letters a to f are valid hex digits, so a word like face is read as U+FACE and returns a CJK character instead of an error.
• Reading the first figure as a hex code: it is the same codepoint in decimal, 128,077 for U+1F44D.
• Leaving the direction on the wrong setting: pasting U+ codes while the emoji-to-codepoint direction is selected just lists the codepoints of the characters U, +, 1 and so on.
