Who runs Copy The Emoji
Copy The Emoji is created and run by Abderrahmane Ettaya, an independent web publisher. He is responsible for every guide on the site, from choosing which emojis to cover to checking the meanings and keeping each page up to date.
Why we made this site
The same emoji can mean very different things depending on who sends it and where. We wanted a simple place where anyone can check a meaning quickly, without confusing explanations.
How we write our guides
Each guide starts from the official Unicode name of the emoji and its release history: the Unicode or Emoji version it came with, and when it reached the iPhone keyboard. We then look at how people actually use it in messages, comments and posts on apps like TikTok, Instagram and WhatsApp, and we add the common mistakes and misreadings that cause confusion. Pages are updated when usage changes and new emojis arrive.
Independent site
Copy The Emoji is an independent website. We are not affiliated with Apple, Google, Unicode or any other company. Emojis look different on each device; read our Disclaimer for details.
