What are Discord emoji shortcodes?

Discord recognises 5447 shortcodes across 3631 emoji. A shortcode is a short name typed between colons that the platform replaces with the emoji.

How do I use a shortcode on Discord?

Type the code between colons and Discord substitutes the character as you send. The full list above gives the code for each emoji.

Are shortcodes the same everywhere?

No. Each platform keeps its own list, so the same emoji can have different codes on Discord than elsewhere, and a code that works in one place may not exist in another. That is why they are listed per source rather than merged.
