List of emojis and their unicode in decimal

Emojis are also characters ☺!

Each emoji added in the list of emojis has its own Unicode code.
Each new emoji (or character) has to be agreed by the Unicode consortium so that all computers in the world could use the character.
On a Windows desktop, you can add an emoji in a word processor software by pressing ALT + Unicode code in decimal (keep pressing the alt button while typing the number on the numeric pad) Example : alt + 128512 = 😀😀(grinning face)
