How to get TikTok secret emojis: All emoji codes

As with most other social media platforms, emojis have become a big part of the online culture on TikTok. But did you know that TikTok has its own secret emojis? Here’s how to find them and use them.

When responding to a TikTok your friend sent you or commenting under a viral post, one of the best ways to make things more interesting is, like any other social media app, to add some emojis.

But as it turns out, the short-form video platform has its very own stock of emojis that differ from the standard ones that come on most phones. Accessing them is surprisingly easy, but differs from the way that you would ordinarily select them.

In order to use the TikTok emojis, you’ll need to use a specific code relating to a certain emotion to get the image that you want to use.

How do you get the TikTok emojis?

Type the code for the emoji you want to use in the typing bar in between square brackets, and when you press space the text will automatically turn into an image.

There are two styles you can pick from. One is a more traditional style emoji, and the other features a fun cartoon creature with various different facial expressions.

The good news about the emojis in particular is that they look the same across different operating systems. Ordinarily, you may worry that your selected smiley face will give off an entirely different meaning once it’s converted into the matching emoji on different phones.

But these will look the same regardless of whether the viewer is on iOS or Android, making it a great alternative to regular emojis.

Here’s the full list of codes:

• [smile]
  [happy]
  [angry]
  [cry]

These are a great way to switch up your comments and make you stand out a little bit more in busy comment sections.
