How to combine emojis

  1. 1. Pick an official ZWJ combination or open the custom sequence builder.
  2. 2. Paste the emojis you want to combine, or choose one of the popular combinations.
  3. 3. Copy the final emoji sequence and paste it into Discord, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok or a document.
  4. 4. If the receiving device is older, it may show separate emojis instead of one combined emoji.

What is a ZWJ sequence?

ZWJ stands for Zero Width Joiner, an invisible Unicode character that can tell supported platforms to display multiple emojis as one combined emoji. Family emojis, profession emojis, pride flags and heart on fire are common examples. The sequence is still plain text, so it can be copied like any other emoji.

Emoji Kitchen vs Unicode emoji combos

Google Emoji Kitchen creates sticker images inside Gboard. Unicode emoji combinations are different: they are text sequences. That means they can be pasted into messages, bios, posts and documents, but the final appearance depends on Apple, Google, Samsung, Windows and the app showing the text.
