TikTok Emoji Codes — Hidden Secret Emoji List
All 46 hidden TikTok emoji codes, like [smile], [happy] and [laughwithtears], in one searchable list. Click a code to copy it, then paste it into a TikTok comment, caption or bio in the mobile app.
The emoji on each card is the closest standard emoji, shown as an approximation. TikTok draws its own artwork for these codes, which looks different. What you copy is the bracket code, and it only turns into TikTok's emoji inside the TikTok mobile app.
Paste a code into a TikTok comment, caption or bio in the mobile app and it shows as TikTok's emoji. On the TikTok website, in other apps, and anywhere outside TikTok it stays as plain text in brackets.

Frequently asked questions
What are TikTok emoji codes?
They are short words in square brackets, such as [smile] or [wow], that the TikTok app swaps for one of its own emoji. They are not part of the standard emoji set, so they do not appear on your phone keyboard, and you have to type or paste the code yourself.
Where do the codes work?
In comments, captions and your bio, typed in the TikTok mobile app. The code turns into TikTok's emoji as you type or once you post. On the TikTok website and anywhere outside TikTok, it stays as plain text in brackets.
Why does the emoji on this page look different from the one in TikTok?
Because it is not the same picture. TikTok's artwork belongs to TikTok, so this page shows the closest standard emoji as an approximation, to give you an idea of the expression. What you copy is the bracket code, and TikTok draws its own version when you paste it.
A code is not working for me. Why?
Check that you are in the mobile app rather than the website, that the code is spelled exactly as shown with no spaces inside the brackets, and that your app is up to date. TikTok decides which codes it supports and can change or remove them without notice, so this list can go out of date.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. The list is static and runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you search or copy is uploaded or stored, and no account is needed.
