Tips:

  • You can find an emoji on Emojipedia and copy from there.
  • Also, all Unicode characters can be found in our code charts. You can specify a character with the number (known as “code point”) beneath it in the table, such as “03C0” for “π” in the Greek code chart.
  • If you are adopting multiple characters, please submit a separate adoption form for each character.
  • For assistance with your adoption, please email us.

We all are better when there is more kindness in the world.
