Did you know that TikTok has a list of ‘secret’ emojis? TikTok now has a huge menu full of ‘secret’ emojis that you can pick from when making TikTok video captions, posting comments, or when chatting in private DMs. Emojis have come a long way in making social media a fun and exciting experience for many users, and there’s no way TikTok was going to miss out.
A Brief History of Emojis
The word “emoji”, in fact, is just as Japanese as it sounds. It’s taken from the Japanese words “e” (“picture”), and “moji” (“character”).
Emojis have been popular since they first appeared on Japanese mobile phones in the late ’90s, and in the past few years they have become a hallmark of the way people communicate. Now, cultures from around the world are now depicted in countless emojis. They have become a way to transcend existing language, toward a global form of communication—one that everyone understands.
How to use TikTok’s secret emojis
You don’t need to install any software, extension or mobile app when using the secret TIkTok emojis. All you need to do is to copy a relevant TikTok emoji code, and then paste it into TikTok. TikTok will automatically convert them to a colorful icon once you post it.
- Go to the TikTok Emoji List
- Copy any emoji shortcode like [blink] or [slap]
- Paste that shortcode into a TikTok caption, comment or DM
- This will turn into a custom emoji (aka emote, sticker, or emoticon)
Alternatively, you can type any of your favorites, especially if you remember the code. To do this, switch to the punctuation keyboard, find the open-square bracket [ then type the code, followed by the close-square bracket ].
There are 46 hidden emojis in TikTok but not shown on the emoji keyboard, and this is what they look like:
