How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-08 from sources read that day. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers are from the Unicode emoji list, 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. Search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml). No emoji has the word miss or missing in its name, and no Unicode character is named for either; the search was run over the whole of both files. CLDR files miss under two emoji, Face blowing a kiss (U+1F618) and Crying face (U+1F622), both from Emoji 0.6; Face blowing a kiss is the only one of the two that also has you. It files nothing under missing, homesick or longing, lonely and heartbroken under Broken heart alone, farewell and goodbye under People hugging alone, and sigh under Face exhaling alone. Names of plain characters are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and the text forms of the heart suit, the airplane and the envelope from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt. That IMY stands for I miss you, as text-messaging slang, is from Wiktionary, IMY (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/IMY, CC BY-SA 4.0); the tiles type it in small letters. That kaomoji are read upright and Western emoticons sideways is from Wikipedia, Kaomoji (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaomoji, CC BY-SA 4.0). The seven kaomoji faces are existing forms, not this siteโs own; the words set beside them are this site's own. The six typed pieces, the fourteen lines, the two drawings and the eleven combos are this siteโs own work, and so is the choice of faces, hearts and far-away things. Licence: own work: the selection, the combo names, the text drawings and the notes are this site's own. Emoji names, code points and search words are Unicode and CLDR data, used under the Unicode License v3 (https://www.unicode.org/license.txt).
