Roblox Emoji Names & How to Type Them
Looking for the name of an emoji you saw in Roblox — like the thumbs up or the peace hand? Roblox uses standard Unicode emoji, so every emoji has an official name you can search for in any emoji picker. Here are the popular ones, plus exactly how to type emoji in Roblox on PC and mobile.
Steps
- Click the text field. In Roblox, click the chat bar, your bio (About section), or the display name field — anywhere you can type.
- Open your emoji picker. On Windows press Win + . (period). On Mac press Cmd + Ctrl + Space. On mobile, switch your keyboard to the emoji layout.
- Search the emoji by name. Type the emoji's name in the picker's search box — for example "thumbs up" or "peace" — and it appears instantly.
- Insert and send. Click the emoji to insert it, then send your message or save your profile. You can also copy emoji from our emoji page and paste them in.
Roblox Emoji Names: The Quick Answer
Roblox does not have its own emoji or custom emoji names — every emoji you see in Roblox is a standard Unicode emoji, the same ones on your phone keyboard. That means the "name" of a Roblox emoji is simply its official Unicode name, and you can find any emoji by searching that name in your device's emoji picker.
Unlike Discord, Roblox chat has no :shortcode: system — typing :thumbsup: will not convert into 👍. You either type the emoji with your emoji keyboard or paste it in as text.

Emoji in Display Names, Bios & Chat
- →Display names: emoji work, but the limit is 20 characters and most emoji count as 2 — keep the base name short.
- →Bios: up to 1,000 characters with full emoji support — the best place to go all-out.
- →Chat: most experiences display emoji fine; a few older games show a □ box instead. The emoji is still there — it is just a font limitation on that game's end.
- →Everything passes Roblox text moderation, so heavily emoji-spammed names can occasionally be rejected.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the thumbs up emoji name in Roblox?
The 👍 emoji is officially named "Thumbs Up" (formerly "Thumbs Up Sign" in Unicode). Roblox uses standard Unicode emoji, so search "thumbs up" in your device's emoji picker, or copy 👍 from our emoji page and paste it into Roblox.
What is the peace hand emoji called?
The ✌️ emoji is officially named "Victory Hand", though nearly everyone calls it the peace sign or peace hand. Search either "victory" or "peace" in your emoji picker to find it.
How do I type emoji in Roblox chat on PC?
Click the chat bar, then press Win + . (period) on Windows or Cmd + Ctrl + Space on Mac to open the emoji picker. Search the emoji by name, click it, and send. Pasting emoji copied from another page works too.
Why do emoji show as boxes (□) in Roblox?
A □ box means the font that game uses cannot draw that emoji — the character itself is still there and other players on other devices may see it fine. Older experiences and some custom chat systems are the usual culprits; simpler, older emoji have the best compatibility.
