ORE UI

Emojis are not supported by Ore UI screens.

NINTENDO SWITCH

Modifying the textures of vanilla emojis is incompatible with Nintendo Switch

Minecraft has a bunch of hard-coded Private Use Unicode symbols that it automatically converts to emoji-like symbols. These can be used anywhere where normal letters can, such as in signs, books, item names, chat, etc.

Below you can find platform specific emojis, as well as general symbols. There are instructions for creating custom emojis at the bottom of this page.

Using Emojis ​

In many places, Minecraft allows you to enter an emoji shortcode rather than the actual character. However, this is not supported everywhere so you may need to copy/paste the character under the "Character" column directly into Minecraft.
