UTF-8 emojis work by encoding Unicode characters—each emoji corresponds to a unique code point defined by the Unicode standard. UTF-8 (Unicode Transformation Format – 8-bit) is a variable-length encoding that can represent any Unicode character using one to four bytes. Emojis are typically represented using 2 to 4 bytes in UTF-8. For example, the 😀 emoji has the Unicode code point U+1F600 and is encoded in UTF-8 as the byte sequence F0 9F 98 80.
To use emojis, you can insert them directly as characters (e.g., 😀) in text or use their Unicode escape sequences (e.g., \u{1F600} in JavaScript, 😀 in HTML, or \U0001F600 in Python). Proper font support and Unicode-aware rendering are essential for displaying emojis correctly across platforms and devices.
Here is a list of weather, nature, and environment emojis you can copy and paste to any computer, mobile text (or text editors), browser, or social media.
