What does the emoji counter do?

The emoji counter scans your text and provides a complete analysis: total emoji count, unique emoji count, emoji density (emojis per 100 characters), the top 5 most-used emojis, and a full frequency breakdown table showing every emoji with its count and percentage of total usage. Results update in real-time as you type.

Does it count all types of emojis?

Yes. The tool detects and counts all standard Unicode emojis including smiley faces, hand gestures, animals, food, flags, weather symbols, hearts, stars, transport, buildings, clocks, sports, music, and every other emoji category. It also counts skin-tone variants, gender variants, zero-width joiner sequences, regional indicator flags, and variation selectors.

Can it show emoji frequency?

Absolutely. The tool provides a full frequency breakdown table sorted by count (most-used first). Each row shows the emoji, its count, and its percentage of total emoji usage. This makes it easy to identify which emojis dominate your text and spot patterns in emoji usage across social media posts, chat logs, or any content.

Does it count multi-codepoint emojis like 👨👩👧👦?

Yes. The tool correctly handles multi-codepoint emojis including zero-width joiner (ZWJ) sequences like family emojis (👨👩👧👦), profession emojis (👩💻), and skin-tone modified emojis. Each ZWJ sequence is counted as a single emoji, not as multiple separate characters, giving you an accurate count.

Yes, the Emoji Counter is completely free with no limitations. There are no hidden charges, no premium tiers, and no sign-up required. You can analyze unlimited text as many times as you need. CoderDesign provides this tool as a free resource for marketers, researchers, data analysts, content creators, and anyone who needs emoji analytics.

Absolutely. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript — nothing is sent to any server. Your text is never stored in any database, logged, or shared with any third party. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet and using the tool offline after the page loads.

Can I use this for social media analysis?

Yes. The Emoji Counter is perfect for analyzing emoji usage in social media posts, tweets, Instagram captions, Facebook posts, WhatsApp messages, Discord chats, and more. The frequency breakdown helps you understand which emojis resonate most with your audience, track emoji trends, and optimize content strategy.

Does it count text emoticons like :) ?

By default, the tool counts only Unicode emojis (the colorful graphical characters). However, you can enable the 'Include text emoticons' option to also count common text-based emoticons like :) :-) :( ;) :P :D XD :-/ :O and more. Text emoticons are counted separately from Unicode emojis so you get clear, distinct statistics for each type.

Emoji Counter FAQ

Common questions about counting emojis and interpreting the results.

Emoji Counter scans your text, finds emojis, and returns a breakdown: total emoji count, unique emojis, frequency table, and percentages. It’s useful for analyzing social captions, chat logs, marketing copy, and UX copy that includes emoji.

Yes. The tool shows both the total number of emojis and the number of unique emojis. For example, '🔥🔥🚀' contains 3 total emojis and 2 unique emojis.

Percentage is calculated as: (emoji count ÷ total emojis) × 100. If you have 40 emojis total and '🔥' appears 8 times, '🔥' is 20.0%.

Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser. We don’t upload, store, or log your text.

Absolutely. Paste captions from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, or LinkedIn and see which emojis you overuse. This helps you keep a consistent brand voice and avoid repetitive patterns.

We use a broad Unicode emoji matcher that covers the major emoji ranges and common sequence components. For analytics, it’s very accurate in practice, but some multi-codepoint sequences can be counted as multiple parts depending on how they’re encoded.
