OpenMoji Unicode emoji library: browse named glyph pages

Tool powered by OpenMoji on OpenMoji.

Browse OpenMoji emoji on openmoji.org. Search named glyphs, download SVG or PNG—CC BY-SA 4.0; confirm attribution on the publisher site.

What is OpenMoji?

OpenMoji is an open source emoji project led by students and faculty at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd with external contributors. Many informational searches pair a noun with emoji, and openmoji.org maps those intents to library detail routes under openmoji.org/library/ rather than only the homepage. The collection includes thousands of emojis aligned with the Unicode Emoji standard, with colored and outlined variants, skin tones, flags, and special interest categories. Assets use CC BY-SA 4.0: follow attribution, share-alike, and other duties on openmoji.org before you ship. Use the official site to search, sample, and follow download links next to our other icon tools.

What you get with OpenMoji

Matches how openmoji.org earns traffic: head terms for specific emojis resolve on library detail pages you can reach through its search.

  1. Large curated emoji set with named glyph pages: Head informational queries for stop signs, regional flags, light bulbs, media devices, and similar objects resolve on publisher library URLs; use the OpenMoji search to open the same glyph detail views.
  2. Consistent visual language: One style guide keeps characters, objects, and flags visually related when used together.
  3. Colored and outlined exports: Pick formats that match UI density, print, or monochrome documentation needs.
  4. Skin tone and flag coverage: Use Fitzpatrick-based skin tones and a broad flag set when your product needs inclusive representation.
  5. SVG and PNG download paths: Choose vector for interfaces and raster when your pipeline requires fixed pixels.

How to use this page

Stay compliant while you design and build.

  1. Read CC BY-SA 4.0 on the main site: Confirm attribution text, commercial use, and share-alike obligations for your distribution channel.
  2. Pin a version for production: Note the OpenMoji release you ship with so legal review can reference a stable tag.
  3. Test at target sizes: Emoji detail can compress on small tap targets; verify legibility in your component scale.
  4. Pair with platform fallbacks: Where system emoji differ, document when OpenMoji replaces or augments native glyphs.

Tips for emoji in interfaces

Reduce ambiguity and accessibility issues.

  1. Do not rely on emoji alone: Pair symbols with labels or tooltips for tasks that must be understood without cultural context.
  2. Watch contrast on colored glyphs: Backgrounds and dark mode can change perceived weight; test real screenshots.
  3. Keep tone consistent with brand: Playful emoji fit some products; enterprise surfaces may need fewer decorative symbols.

Great for

Teams that want open vector emoji with clear licensing.

  1. Chat and social products: Replace or supplement platform sets with a single art direction.
  2. Education and editorial: Illustrate lessons and articles with reusable vector assets.
  3. Design systems: Document emoji usage and export rules next to iconography.
  4. Campaigns and stickers: Prototype sticker sets while you confirm license scope for each region.
