How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed by hand. The 26 emoji, their names, code points, subgroups, skin tones and Emoji version numbers come from emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); names are the CLDR short names printed in that file, in sentence case. The search words quoted in the notes are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml, main branch). The group Heart eyes is every emoji to which that file gives the search word heart-eyes: two, which are also the only two with heart-eyes in their names. The group after it is the rest of the subgroup that emoji-test.txt calls face-affection, nine faces in all with Smiling face with heart-eyes counted. Formal character names (Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes, White smiling face, Black heart suit, White heart suit, Undertie) are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt); the Unicode version in which a character arrived is from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt); and whether a character is on Unicode's emoji list, and how it is presented by default, is from emoji-data.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt): U+2665 has the Emoji property without Emoji_Presentation, and U+2661 has neither. Text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt). The near misses, the hearts, the 13 text faces and the 14 combos are this site's own choice, the text faces are our own spellings, and the combo names are our own. Every character in a text face was checked against UnicodeData.txt, and a label that names a character uses its name from that file. Wikipedia's List of emoticons records <3 as a heart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons). All sources were checked on 2026-09-19.
