What this tool does
Useful more often than it sounds: a random emoji makes a serviceable icebreaker, a quick way to label things that have no natural order, a prompt for a drawing game, or simply a way of finding a symbol you would never have thought to search for. Six categories are included, and you can draw from all of them together.

Frequently asked questions
Why do some appear as empty boxes?
Because the emoji exists but the font on that device does not have a picture for it yet. Emoji are characters, not images: the site sends the character and the operating system draws it, so an older phone or a system with a minimal font set will show a placeholder box for the newer ones. The same text will look right again on a more recent device.
