Question 1

What is the Unicode emoji standard?

Accepted Answer

The Unicode emoji standard is maintained by the Unicode Consortium and defines officially approved emoji characters, their code points, names, groups, and the version in which they were introduced. Emoji Score uses a bundled Unicode emoji data snapshot for deterministic public-safe scoring.

Question 2

How do I propose a new emoji?

Accepted Answer

To propose a new emoji to the Unicode Consortium, you need to submit a formal proposal that demonstrates expected usage, cross-cultural universality, a semantic gap not covered by existing emoji, longevity, visual distinctiveness, inclusivity, and a complete proposal document. Emoji Score helps you evaluate your idea against these criteria before submission.

Question 3

How many emoji are in the Unicode standard?

Accepted Answer

Emoji Score exposes the bundled fully-qualified Unicode emoji dataset by API and discovery files, with runtime counts reported in health and llms-index.json.

Question 4

Where can I access the full Unicode emoji list via API?

Accepted Answer

The complete Unicode emoji dataset is available via the Emoji Score API at https://emoji.platphormnews.com/api/emoji/all (JSON), and individual emoji can be searched at https://emoji.platphormnews.com/api/emoji/search?q={query}. Full API documentation is at https://emoji.platphormnews.com/docs.
