How to Use the Emoji List Extractor
The Emoji List Extractor pulls out every emoji used in a chunk of text — a chat export, a social media post, a review — and organizes it into a clean list. Paste your text into the box above and the tool automatically recognizes emojis according to the Unicode standard, counting how many times each one appears.
Each result also shows the Unicode code point next to the emoji (for example, 😀 is U+1F600). Code points are useful when you need to reference a specific emoji precisely in code, or when a designer needs to look up an exact character. Combined emojis such as family emojis or skin-tone variants, which are built from multiple Unicode characters joined together, are still recognized and counted as a single emoji.
Social media managers can use this to see which emojis show up most often in their posts, and developers can quickly filter emoji characters out of user-submitted text. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you paste is sent to a server, so there's no installation or sign-up required.
