How this list was compiled: Names, code points, sequences, skin tones and Emoji version numbers come from Unicode's emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); item names are the CLDR short names with a capital. Search words are the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml, main branch). Text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt) and the names of plain characters from UnicodeData.txt and NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt, https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). The first group is every emoji that CLDR files under thanks, thx, grateful or gratitude, found by a search of the whole file; no emoji is named for the word. The second group is this site's own picks, and each note says what CLDR files that emoji under. Thank you in other languages: each form is a translation given in both the Wiktionary entry thank you (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thank_you) and the entry thanks (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thanks), read on 2 October 2026 (CC BY-SA 4.0); the Wiktionary entry of each of the ten words was read the same day, and each glosses its word as thank you. The lines, the text faces, the three banners and the combo names are this site's own work. Licence: own work (the selection, the combo names and the wording are this site's own; emoji names, sequences and search words come from Unicode's data files and CLDR, under the Unicode License v3; translations from Wiktionary, CC BY-SA 4.0, credited in source)
