Frequently asked questions

Where do emoji shortcodes work?

GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Discord, Mattermost, and many Markdown editors, including the editor on this site, turn :shortcode: into the emoji.

Should I use the shortcode or the emoji character?

Shortcodes are portable plain text and readable in source. The emoji character works everywhere Unicode is supported, even where shortcodes are not.

Why do some emoji have several shortcodes?

Common aliases are supported, for example :+1: and :thumbsup: both produce 👍.
