Emoji Regex Generator

Generate regex patterns and sample JavaScript for emoji detection.

Unicode emoji matching is complex because of skin tones, variation selectors, flags, and zero-width joiner sequences. Treat these snippets as practical starting points and test your target platforms.

JavaScript regex and sample code
const emojiRegex = /(?:\p{Regional_Indicator}{2}|\p{Extended_Pictographic}(?:\uFE0F)?)/gu;
const matches = text.match(emojiRegex) ?? [];
