Emoticons is a Unicode block containing emoticons or emoji. [3] [4] [5] Most of them are intended as representations of faces, although some of them include hand gestures or non-human characters (a horned "imp", monkeys, cartoon cats).
95 characters; the 52 alphabet characters belong to the Latin script. The remaining 43 belong to the common script. The 33 characters classified as ASCII Punctuation & Symbols are also sometimes referred to as ASCII special characters. Often only these characters (and not other Unicode punctuation) are what is meant when an organization says a ...
Unicode 16.0 specifies a total of 3,790 emoji using 1,431 characters spread across 24 blocks, of which 26 are Regional indicator symbols that combine in pairs to form flag emoji, and 12 (#, * and 0–9) are base characters for keycap emoji sequences. [1] [2] [3] 33 of the 192 code points in the Dingbats block are considered emoji
However, an equals sign, a number 8, a capital letter B or a capital letter X are also used to indicate normal eyes, widened eyes, those with glasses or those with crinkled eyes, respectively. Symbols for the mouth vary, e.g. ")" for a smiley face or "(" for a sad face. One can also add a "}" after the mouth character to indicate a beard.
The same character converted to UTF-8 becomes the byte sequence EF BB BF. The Unicode Standard allows the BOM "can serve as a signature for UTF-8 encoded text where the character set is unmarked". [74] Some software developers have adopted it for other encodings, including UTF-8, in an attempt to distinguish UTF-8 from local 8-bit code pages.

The Arrows block contains eight emoji: U+2194–U+2199 and U+21A9–U+21AA. [3] [4]The block has sixteen standardized variants defined to specify emoji-style (U+FE0F VS16) or text presentation (U+FE0E VS15) for the eight emoji, all of which default to a text presentation.
The limit of 17 planes is due to UTF-16, which can encode 2 20 code points (16 planes) as pairs of words, plus the BMP as a single word. [2] UTF-8 was designed with a much larger limit of 2 31 (2,147,483,648) code points (32,768 planes), and would still be able to encode 2 21 (2,097,152) code points (32 planes) even under the current limit of 4 ...
