How to create Emojis?

Modified on Fri, 5 Feb, 2021 at 11:37 AM

Emojis are color glyphs which follow the Unicode standard.


They are present in three blocks:

Other symbols available in different blocks (like Maps and Transportation) can be treated as Emojis and be designed as color glyphs. You can find all the code charts here: https://www.unicode.org/charts/


To create a font with color Emojis you need an editor like FontLab 7. FontLab Studio 5 does not support color glyphs.


Documentation for the new FontLab is available, although it's under the development:
