Emojis & Symbols
WARNING
Modifying texture of vanilla emojis and symbols on this page are incompatible with Nintendo Switch platform!
Minecraft has a bunch of hard-coded Private Use Unicode symbols that it automatically converts to Emoji-like symbols. These can be used anywhere where normal letters can - signs, books, item names, chat, etc.
Below you can find platform specific Emoji's, as well as general symbols. Copy/paste the "box" character under the Letter colum directly into Minecraft. You can also use the input key using /titleraw or /tellraw.
There will be instructions for creating custom emoji at the bottom.

Custom Emoji
WARNING
This method is not officially supported. Use with caution on the Marketplace!
To make a custom emoji, we use a very similar method to the pre-built emoji, except instead of using the Microsoft sprite-sheets, we overwrite them with our own! Some character-slots are already used up with the emoji above, but there are blank slots we can use.
Please note that the following files have been annotated with slot information: If you use them directly, existing Emoji will have numbers added on top of them. If you need the original sprite-sheets, you can get them from the Vanilla Resources on your system (not included in the Vanilla Resource Pack downloads).
To get started, you should download the sprite-sheets, and move them into the fonts folder.
Two sprite-sheets are provided for each glyph-target: One that accurately reflects vanilla, and a second version which has been annotated with hex information, for easily finding the correct character.
Glyph E0
Glyph E1
Edited sample glyph_E1.png for free-use shared by @zheaEvyline:
If you'd like to add existing Vanilla items to the glyph and use them as emojis in-game, you can easily do so with the Items to Glyph Web Tool created by @Minato
Your filepath should look like this:
- 🖼️glyph_E0.png
- 🖼️glyph_E1.png
Using the Emojis In-Game
Once you have your custom emojis inside the glyph_E0.png or glyph_E1.png, you need to obtain it's corresponding letter/symbol which you will be able to copy-paste to display the emoji in-game.
You can obtain the letter/symbol with the help of this Glyph Web Tool made by @NhanAZ
Finding the Correct Hex
Alternatively, you may insert the character "code" of the emoji into the converter below to obtain it's corresponding letter/symbol.
The first two characters are either E0 or E1, depending on which file you added emojis to.
The next two characters are the position inside the image like <row><column>, where each character is a number in hexadecimal numeral system. You can find this number by referencing the images above. For example, the top-right square in E0 is 0F, and the bottom right is FF.
So after you are done, it might look like E102 (E1 + 02).
Copy this code into the following field, and press Convert. The symbol on the right-hand side can be copy/pasted into Minecraft.
Emoji Positioning
- To position an emoji upwards/downwards, simply move it up/down within its own emoji slot.
- To position an emoji towards the left or right, simply add any pixel of 5-10% opacity to its side (within its own slot), opposite to the direction you want to move it.
- Ex: to move an emoji to the right by 2 pixels, add any 5-10% opacity pixel connecting to it, anywhere on its left-most side and add another one to the left of that pixel.
Note: the following steps are only for emojis that are not fit to its slot width (smaller than its slot size.)
Glyph Separation Space
Sometimes, it appears that if you put 2 glyphs near to each other, there will be a couple of empty pixels between them. The only fix for it is to scale the glyph (png file) itself. Ex: 256×256 → 512×512
