I read every message and respond as soon as possible
Have a question about a specific emoji meaning? Found an error in our dictionary? Want to suggest a new emoji that should be added to our database? I want to hear from you. Emoji Dictionary is written and maintained by Jordan Reyes — a solo project, not a team — so messages go straight to the person who wrote the site.
I typically respond to inquiries within 1-3 business days. For the fastest response, please include as much detail as possible about your question or suggestion. If you are reporting an issue with a specific emoji, please include the emoji character, its name, and a description of the problem so I can investigate and correct it promptly.
Yes. If you think an emoji is missing from the dictionary, send me the emoji character (if it exists in Unicode) or describe the one you'd like to see added. I try to keep the database current with new Unicode releases, but with just me maintaining it, some do slip through — your suggestions genuinely help.
Absolutely. Emoji meanings evolve over time as cultural usage shifts. If you believe an emoji meaning on this site is outdated or incorrect, please let me know. Include the emoji, the current meaning listed here, and what you believe the correct meaning should be along with your reasoning or source.
Not at the moment. It's come up before and it's on my someday list, but with this being a spare-time solo project it's not close to happening. If you have a specific use case that needs it, tell me — it helps me gauge whether it's worth prioritizing.
