Unicode Emojis vs TikTok Emojis
Unicode emojis are built into your device (iOS, Android, Windows, macOS) and change style depending on the platform. TikTok emojis are special in-app images triggered by hidden shortcodes like [smile].
What are Unicode emojis?
- Come from your operating system and fonts (Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.).
- Look slightly different on iPhone, Android, desktop, and web.
- Work in all apps: TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp, email, and more.
- You type them directly from your keyboard as emoji characters.
What are TikTok emojis?
- Special images only inside the TikTok app.
- Triggered by shortcodes in brackets, like [wronged] or [slap].
- Always look the same on iOS and Android because TikTok renders them.
- Outside TikTok they show as plain text (for example, "[smile]").
