🏷️ Shortcode Finder

A shortcode is a text alias like :thumbsup: or :heart: that platforms convert into emoji. Different platforms use different shortcode systems — Slack, Discord, GitHub, and others each have their own naming conventions.

The finder includes shortcodes from Slack, Discord, GitHub, and the CLDR short names. These cover the most commonly used platforms for shortcode-based emoji input.

No. While many popular emojis share the same shortcode (like :heart: for the red heart), many differ. For example, the tears of joy emoji might be :joy: on Slack but :laughing: on another platform. The finder shows you the correct code for each.

Shortcodes only work in apps that support them (Slack, Discord, GitHub comments, etc.). For regular text, copy the actual emoji character instead. The finder provides both the shortcode and the character.

Type the shortcode (including colons) in a supported app. For example, typing :fire: in Slack automatically converts to the fire emoji. Some apps show a preview as you type.
