Where these actually work

Copying a character is the easy half. The half that catches people out is that every app decides for itself what it will accept, and the rules are rarely written down anywhere. Here is what to expect from the places these characters usually end up.

Swipe the table sideways to read the last column.

Where you paste it What happens Worth knowing
TikTok display nameAccepts decorated charactersThis is the field most people mean when they say “TikTok name”
TikTok usernameRejects them outrightOnly letters, numbers, full stops and underscores are allowed there
Instagram bio and nameAccepts almost anythingLong combinations may be trimmed by the character limit rather than the filter
Messaging appsPasses through unchangedHow it looks depends on the reader’s phone, not on yours
Game display namesVaries by gameMost games run their own allow-list, so a character that works in one can fail in another
Documents and design toolsWorks if the font has the characterA missing glyph shows as a box here too — switch font rather than change the character

Why a symbol sometimes shows as an empty box

Because the device you are looking at has no drawing for that character. The character itself is intact and still on your clipboard — only the picture is missing.

A character is not an image. What travels when you copy is a number, and every device turns that number into a shape using the fonts it happens to have installed. Two phones with different fonts show the same clipboard differently, and an older phone may show nothing at all. That is why a combination can look broken here and paste perfectly into a bio a minute later.

So the practical advice is the opposite of what people usually do: if a character looks like an empty box, paste it somewhere else before giving up on it. We keep these sets exactly as they are rather than swapping unusual characters for safe ones, and the reasoning behind that is set out in our editorial policy.

Which set fits what you are writing

The sets above are grouped by feel rather than by Unicode block, because that is how people actually search. A rough guide to picking one:

  • A bio or profile description. Stars, sparkles and bows sit well around a line of text without competing with it. Keep the decoration at the ends and leave the middle readable.
  • A display name. Short wins. One or two characters either side of your name survives every character limit and still reads as a name.
  • Captions and comments. Hearts, flowers and animal faces carry tone better than a plain full stop, and kaomoji faces do the work an emoji does without looking like everyone else’s emoji.
  • A gaming tag. Check the game first — many reject anything outside their own list. Simple bracket and star shapes clear more filters than dense stacked combinations.
  • Something moody. The sad and cool sets exist because not every message is cheerful, and a crying kaomoji lands differently from a crying emoji.

If one theme is what you came for, the pages built around it go much deeper than a homepage row: heart symbols, skulls and gothic symbols, shrug kaomoji and thinking faces.

About COOLMOJI

COOLMOJI is a free copy-and-paste library for emoji, kaomoji and Unicode symbols, online since January 2024. There is no account, no download and no paid tier — every set on this page works the moment it loads.

Character names and code points come from the Unicode Standard rather than from other symbol sites, and nothing on a library page is published until it has been pasted into a real phone. Characters are stored byte for byte, so a combination you copy today still behaves the same next month. How that works in practice is described on the about page, and the checks behind it are set out in our editorial policy.

Frequently asked questions

How do I copy an emoji or symbol from this page?

Tap or click any character in the sets above and it goes straight to your clipboard. There is no button to confirm and nothing to select first — one tap is the whole action.

Can I use these in a TikTok username?

No. A TikTok username accepts only letters, numbers, full stops and underscores, so decorated characters are rejected there. They do work in your display name, which is the field most people actually mean.

Why does a character look different on my friend’s phone?

Because their device draws it with a different font. The character that arrives is identical to the one you sent; only the picture drawn from it changes. This is also why the same symbol can appear as an empty box on an older phone.

Are these free to use commercially?

Yes. Unicode characters are a public standard, so they are not ours to license to you — copy them into client work, a product or an advertisement with no credit needed. The terms of use cover the detail.

What is the difference between an emoji and a kaomoji?

An emoji is a single character your device draws as a picture. A kaomoji is a face built from several ordinary characters, read sideways or upright, which means it looks the same almost everywhere because it uses characters every font already has.

Do you track what I copy?

Tapping a character in the sets above is not recorded at all — that copying happens entirely in your browser. Only the name generator keeps counts, and what it stores is set out in the privacy policy.
