How to Use This Emoji to Unicode Converter
How to Convert Emojis to Unicode Codes and HTML Entities:
- Paste or type emojis directly into the emoji input field - supports single emojis or multiple emojis at once
- Choose your preferred output format: All formats for comprehensive results, or specific formats for targeted use cases
- Enable "Show emoji descriptions" to include emoji names and metadata for documentation purposes
- Click "Convert Emojis" to generate Unicode codes, HTML decimal entities, and HTML hex entities
- Copy individual codes for specific emojis, or copy the complete conversion list for bulk use
- Use Unicode codes (U+1F600) for CSS content properties and documentation
- Use HTML decimal entities (😀) for web pages and email templates
- Use HTML hex entities (😀) for JavaScript and modern web development
Pro Tips: Test emoji display across different platforms using these codes, include fallback fonts for better cross-browser compatibility, and use HTML entities for emails to ensure proper emoji rendering in all email clients.
How It Works
Advanced Unicode and HTML Entity Conversion Technology:
Our emoji converter uses sophisticated JavaScript Unicode processing to provide accurate character analysis:
- Emoji Detection: Identifies individual emoji characters including complex multi-character sequences like skin tones and ZWJ sequences
- Unicode Analysis: Uses JavaScript's codePointAt() method to extract accurate Unicode code points for each emoji character
- Multiple Format Generation: Converts Unicode code points to U+ notation, HTML decimal entities, and HTML hexadecimal entities
- Sequence Handling: Properly processes complex emojis including family emojis, profession emojis with skin tones, and flag sequences
- Metadata Integration: Provides emoji names, categories, and usage information from Unicode emoji standards
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Generates codes that work consistently across browsers, operating systems, and applications
- Web Development Ready: Outputs formats optimized for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and popular web frameworks
- Batch Processing: Efficiently handles multiple emojis simultaneously with individual code generation and bulk export options
The tool ensures 100% accurate Unicode conversion by using native browser APIs and following Unicode Consortium standards for emoji character processing and representation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Unicode codes and HTML entities for emojis?
Unicode codes (U+1F600) are the standard character identifiers used in programming and documentation. HTML decimal entities (😀) and hex entities (😀) are web-specific formats that browsers convert to display emojis. Use Unicode for CSS content properties, HTML entities for web pages, and hex entities for JavaScript. Both HTML formats ensure emojis display properly even if the font doesn't support the Unicode character directly.
Why do some emojis have multiple Unicode codes or complex sequences?
Modern emojis often use multiple Unicode characters combined together. For example, family emojis use Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) sequences, and skin tone emojis combine the base emoji with skin tone modifier characters. Our tool properly handles these complex sequences and shows all the component Unicode codes. This is important for developers who need to understand how emojis are constructed at the character level.
Which format should I use for web development projects?
For HTML content, use HTML decimal entities (😀) as they're widely supported and work in older browsers. For CSS content properties, use Unicode escape sequences (\1F600). For JavaScript strings, you can use Unicode escape sequences (\u{1F600}) or the HTML hex format. HTML entities are generally the safest choice for cross-platform compatibility in web projects.
Will these Unicode codes work across different operating systems and devices?
Unicode codes are universal standards, so they work across all modern operating systems. However, the visual appearance of emojis can vary between platforms (Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.). Using HTML entities ensures the emoji displays even if the system font doesn't support it, as browsers will use fallback rendering. Always test emoji display on your target platforms to ensure proper user experience.
How do I handle emojis in databases and APIs?
Store emojis as Unicode characters in UTF-8 encoded databases, or convert them to HTML entities for ASCII-only systems. For APIs, you can transmit emojis as Unicode characters (preferred) or as escaped Unicode sequences. Many developers convert emojis to HTML entities for storage and convert back to Unicode for display, ensuring compatibility with older systems that might not handle Unicode properly.
