What's in this group
Unicode puts 388 emoji in the People & Body group, in 16 subgroups, shown here in Unicode's own order. The oldest date from 2010; the newest here, ๐ซ (hairy creature), was added in 2025.
Skin tones
Unicode has five skin-tone modifiers, from light skin tone to dark skin tone. Unicode says they are based on the six tones of the Fitzpatrick scale, a standard in dermatology, and that the exact shades may vary between phones and apps.
Without a modifier, a person or hand emoji uses a generic, non-realistic color, such as yellow. Pick a tone above and every emoji that Unicode defines with all five tones changes: 312 of the 1,914 emoji on this site.
How to type emoji
- On Windows, press Windows + . (period) while typing to open the emoji panel, and search for the emoji by name.
- On a Mac, press Fn/Globe + E (or choose Edit > Emoji & Symbols) to open the Character Viewer, which has a search box.
- On a phone, the quickest way is to copy it from this page.
Why an emoji shows as a box
Every year Unicode adds new emoji, and phones and computers that haven't been updated don't have them yet, so they show an empty box instead. The name of each emoji here ends with the year it was added.
This site lists everything up to Emoji 17.0 (September 2025). The emoji of Emoji 18.0 aren't included yet: none of the browsers we test with can draw them.
