Frequently Asked Questions

Will emojis look the same everywhere? Emojis are Unicode characters, but each platform has its own visual style. An emoji may look slightly different on iPhone vs. Android vs. Windows.

Can I copy multiple emojis? Each click copies one emoji. You can paste it and then copy the next one, building up a sequence.

Do all emojis work in all apps? Most modern apps support standard Unicode emojis. Very old software or systems may not display newer emojis correctly.
