There are thousands of emoji, and the Unicode Standard is updated as new emoji are approved. The exact number changes over time as new versions add faces, symbols, objects, people, animals and flags.
Emoji counts can vary depending on whether skin tone options, gender sequences, family sequences and flag sequences are counted separately. A simple emoji list may show one number, while a full technical count may be much higher.
Emoji.ac tracks emoji by Unicode data and organizes them into categories, subcategories and groups to make them easier to search and browse.
