How to Copy & Share ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ (And Actually Get It Right)

Look, I get it. You want to drop ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ in your group chat to celebrate your friend's achievement, but you're staring at your keyboard wondering "...how do I actually TYPE this?"

You're not alone. I've watched people try to:

  • Type "100 thumbs up" hoping autocorrect does magic (it doesn't)
  • Screenshot someone else's emoji and send the image (commitment, but inefficient)
  • Give up and just send "nice!" (sad)

The good news? There are three legitimate ways to copy and share ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘, ranging from "copy-paste in 5 seconds" to "create a custom mashup sticker that'll make your friends ask where you got it."

This guide covers all three methods, where each one works best, and the hilariously common mistakes people make (so you can avoid them and look like an emoji wizard).

Understanding ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘: What You're Actually Copying

Before we dive into HOW, let's understand WHAT you're working with:

| Emoji | Name | What it signals | |-------|------|-----------------| | ๐Ÿ’ฏ | Hundred Points | Complete agreement, 100% facts, maximum approval โ€” peak validation energy | | ๐Ÿ‘ | Thumbs Up | Approval, agreement, "got it" โ€” universal positive response |

Together, ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ means "I fully approve" or "this is absolutely correct" or "you nailed it 100%." It's the emoji equivalent of saying "FACTS" while doing a firm head nod.

Common uses:

  • Responding to good news: "I got the promotion! ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘"
  • Agreeing with a statement: "Pineapple on pizza is valid ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘"
  • Celebrating achievements: "Finished the marathon! ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘"
  • Validating someone's opinion: "This take ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘"

Now let's get you equipped to actually USE it.

Method 1: Quick Copy-Paste (5 Seconds, Works Everywhere)

Best for: Text messages, social media captions, emails, anywhere you can paste text

Device: Any (iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux)

Step-by-Step:

1. Copy the emojis from here:

Just select and copy this โ†’ ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘

Or copy from KitchenMoji's dedicated page: Copy ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ here

2. Paste wherever you need:

  • iPhone: Long-press โ†’ Paste
  • Android: Long-press โ†’ Paste
  • Desktop: Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac)

3. That's it. Seriously.

You now have ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ in your message. Send it with confidence.

Where This Method Works:

โœ… Text messages (iMessage, SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram)
โœ… Social media captions (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook)
โœ… Social media comments (anywhere comments are text-based)
โœ… Email (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail)
โœ… Work chat (Slack, Discord, Teams)
โœ… Dating apps (Hinge, Bumble, Tinder)
โœ… Notes apps (Apple Notes, Google Keep, Notion)

Where This Method Sometimes Fails:

โŒ Old email clients (some corporate systems don't render emojis)
โŒ Ancient phones (if someone's rocking a 2010 flip phone)
โŒ Some forums (older web forums may show boxes instead)
โŒ PDF documents (depends on the PDF editor)

Pro tip: After pasting, send yourself a test message first to confirm it looks right before dropping it in an important conversation. Nothing worse than sending boxes to your boss.

Common Copy-Paste Fails (And How to Avoid Them)

Fail #1: Copied the wrong thing

What happens:

You: "Great work on the presentation" โ†’ Paste
Message shows: "๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ Step-by-Step:" (you copied the header too)

Fix: Select ONLY the emojis, nothing else. Drag carefully.

Fail #2: Pasted in the wrong order

What happens:

You meant: ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘
You pasted: ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ฏ (emojis reversed)

Fix: Copy in the correct order, or paste then delete and re-order. Some platforms let you drag emojis to reorder.

Fail #3: Extra spaces

What happens:

"That's amazing ๐Ÿ’ฏ ๐Ÿ‘" (weird gap)

Fix: After pasting, check for extra spaces. Delete them before sending.

Fail #4: Platform doesn't support emojis

What happens:

You paste, recipient sees: โ˜โ˜ (boxes)

Fix: If texting someone, ask "can you see emojis?" first. For work emails, maybe skip emojis entirely and use words like a responsible adult.

Method 2: Device Emoji Keyboard (Built-In, No Copy Needed)

Best for: When you want to TYPE emojis directly without copy-pasting

Device: iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows 11

iPhone / iPad:

1. Open your keyboard in any app
2. Tap the ๐ŸŒ or ๐Ÿ˜Š icon (bottom left of keyboard)
3. Search or scroll:

  • Tap the search icon (๐Ÿ”)
  • Type "100" โ†’ select ๐Ÿ’ฏ
  • Tap back to emoji keyboard
  • Scroll to "hand" category โ†’ select ๐Ÿ‘

4. Both emojis appear in your text

Quick access tip: Recent emojis show first. After using ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ once, they'll appear in your "frequently used" section for instant access next time.

Android:

1. Open keyboard in any app
2. Tap the emoji icon (usually shows a smiley ๐Ÿ˜Š)
3. Use search or categories:

  • Tap search (magnifying glass)
  • Type "hundred" โ†’ select ๐Ÿ’ฏ
  • Go back, type "thumbs" โ†’ select ๐Ÿ‘

4. Done

Samsung Note: Some Android keyboards (like Gboard) let you type "100" and it suggests ๐Ÿ’ฏ automatically. Saves a step!

Mac (Desktop):

1. Click anywhere you can type text
2. Press Control + Command + Space (โŒƒโŒ˜Space)
3. Emoji picker appears
4. Search "hundred" โ†’ click ๐Ÿ’ฏ
5. Search "thumbs up" โ†’ click ๐Ÿ‘
6. Close picker

Shortcut to remember: It's the same keys you'd use to take a screenshot, but with Space instead of 3 or 4.

Windows 11:

1. Click any text field
2. Press Windows key + . (period) or Windows key + ; (semicolon)
3. Emoji panel opens
4. Search "hundred" โ†’ click ๐Ÿ’ฏ
5. Search "thumbs" โ†’ click ๐Ÿ‘
6. Click outside panel to close

Note: Windows 10 users have this too! Same shortcut.

When to Use Device Keyboard vs Copy-Paste:

| Situation | Method to use | Why | |-----------|--------------|-----| | Quick text reply | Device keyboard | Faster than switching apps | | Multiple uses | Device keyboard | Don't want to keep copy-pasting | | Long caption with many emojis | Device keyboard | Type as you go | | One-time use | Copy-paste | Faster for single use | | Emoji not on keyboard | Copy-paste | Some rare emojis don't appear in searches | | Creating a document | Device keyboard | More natural workflow |

Common Device Keyboard Fails:

Fail #1: Can't find the emoji icon

What happens: You open keyboard, no emoji button visible

Fix:

  • iPhone: Settings โ†’ General โ†’ Keyboard โ†’ Keyboards โ†’ Add New Keyboard โ†’ Emoji (if not there)
  • Android: Usually can't be disabled, but check keyboard settings
  • Mac/Windows: The keyboard shortcut should always work

Fail #2: Wrong emoji shows up

What happens: You search "100" but get ๐Ÿ”ข (numbers) or other random emojis

Fix: Be more specific: "hundred points" or scroll through symbols category manually

Fail #3: Keyboard disappears when clicking emoji

What happens: On some apps, keyboard closes after each emoji

Fix: That's the app's behavior, not your fault. Just reopen keyboard for second emoji.

Fail #4: Emojis appear HUGE

What happens: You typed them in the wrong app (like a title field) and they're enormous

Fix: You probably clicked in a heading or title. Click in the body text area instead.

Method 3: Emoji Kitchen Mashup Sticker (The Pro Move)

Best for: Instagram Stories, Snapchat, TikTok videos, Discord reactions, anywhere stickers work

Device: Any device with a browser

What makes this different: Instead of text emojis (๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘), you get a FUSED IMAGE โ€” one single sticker that blends both emojis into a unique design.

Step-by-Step with KitchenMoji:

1. Go to KitchenMoji.com or the Emoji Mashup Generator

2. Select your first emoji:

  • Click the first emoji picker
  • Search "hundred" or scroll to find ๐Ÿ’ฏ
  • Click to select

3. Select your second emoji:

  • Click the second emoji picker
  • Search "thumbs" or scroll to find ๐Ÿ‘
  • Click to select

4. The mashup preview appears instantly

If Google's Emoji Kitchen has designed a blend for ๐Ÿ’ฏ + ๐Ÿ‘, you'll see a custom sticker preview.

5. Choose your action:

Option A: Download PNG

  • Click "Download PNG"
  • Image saves to your device
  • Use in Stories, videos, Discord, anywhere images work

Option B: Copy Unicode

  • Click "Copy Unicode"
  • Get the text version (๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘)
  • Paste like Method 1

Option C: Share Link

  • Click "Share"
  • Copy the direct link
  • Send to friends who need this combo

Where to Use the Mashup PNG:

| Platform | How to use | Why it's better than text | |----------|-----------|--------------------------| | Instagram Stories | Add as sticker overlay | Stands out, unique visual, higher engagement | | TikTok | Import as video overlay | Custom look, on-brand content | | Snapchat | Add to photo/video | More creative than standard emojis | | Discord | Upload as custom emoji or paste in chat | Server-specific reactions | | WhatsApp | Send as image sticker | Bigger, more impactful than text emoji | | Presentation slides | Insert as image | Looks professional (for casual presentations) | | Design projects | Import to Canva/Figma | Custom element for graphics |

Text Unicode (๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘) vs Mashup PNG: When to Use Each

Use Text Unicode when:

  • โœ… Typing in captions, comments, messages
  • โœ… Need it to be searchable text
  • โœ… Want it to auto-scale with font size
  • โœ… Platform doesn't support image uploads
  • โœ… Need to copy-paste quickly

Use Mashup PNG when:

  • โœ… Creating visual content (Stories, videos)
  • โœ… Want unique, eye-catching design
  • โœ… Building custom sticker packs
  • โœ… Designing graphics or presentations
  • โœ… Platform supports image stickers

Real example:
Instagram caption: Use text ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ (searchable, native)
Instagram Story overlay: Use PNG mashup (visual impact, unique)

Emoji Kitchen Pro Tips:

Tip #1: Save frequently-used mashups

Download your favorite combos once, save to a "Stickers" folder. Reuse without re-creating.

Tip #2: Create variations

Try different orders:

  • ๐Ÿ’ฏ + ๐Ÿ‘ (hundred first)
  • ๐Ÿ‘ + ๐Ÿ’ฏ (thumbs first)

Sometimes the design changes based on order!

Tip #3: Combine with text in Stories

Don't just slap the sticker. Add text context:

[Mashup PNG]
"This energy right here"

Tip #4: Use for branding

If you're a content creator, certain emoji combos can become your "signature." Consistency = recognition.

Tip #5: Share the link, not the file

Instead of sending PNG files (which compress in messages), share the KitchenMoji link. Friends get the full-quality version.

Common Mashup Mistakes:

Mistake #1: Sending PNG in text chats

What happens:
You: [Sends huge PNG file]
Friend: "Why did you send me a picture of emojis?"

Why it fails: Text emojis are faster in pure text conversations. PNG is overkill.

Fix: Save PNGs for visual platforms (Stories, videos). Use text for messaging.

Mistake #2: Not resizing for platform

What happens: You import the PNG to Stories, it's TINY or HUGE and pixelated

Fix: Instagram/TikTok auto-resize, but for presentations or graphics, resize the PNG first in an image editor.

Mistake #3: Assuming every combination exists

What happens: You try to mashup ๐Ÿ’ฏ + ๐Ÿฆ– (dinosaur). No blend exists.

Why it fails: Google's Emoji Kitchen only has blends for certain popular combinations.

Fix: If no mashup appears, the combo isn't supported. Use text emojis side-by-side instead.

Mistake #4: Over-mashing

What happens: You create mashup after mashup, your content is 80% emoji stickers

Why it fails: Visual clutter. The point gets lost.

Fix: Use mashups strategically. 1-2 per Story/video is plenty.

Platform-Specific Sharing Strategies

Instagram

Stories:

  • Method 3 (PNG mashup) works best
  • Add text for context
  • Use sticker once per Story max

Feed Captions:

  • Method 1 or 2 (text emoji)
  • Place at beginning or end for emphasis
  • Example: "Crushed the workout ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘"

Comments:

  • Method 1 (quick copy-paste)
  • Or use device keyboard if commenting frequently

Best practice: Unicode in captions/comments, PNG mashup in Stories

TikTok

Video Captions:

  • Method 1 or 2 (text)
  • Emojis help with searchability
  • Example: "This hack ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ #LifeTips"

Video Overlays:

  • Method 3 (PNG mashup)
  • Import during editing
  • Place strategically (not covering important visuals)

Comments:

  • Method 1 (copy-paste)
  • Fast reactions to other creators

Best practice: Text for captions, PNG mashup for video emphasis

WhatsApp / iMessage / Text Messages

Quick replies:

  • Method 2 (device keyboard)
  • Fastest for rapid-fire texts

One-time use:

  • Method 1 (copy-paste)
  • When you don't want to search

Image messages:

  • Method 3 (send PNG as image)
  • Only if you want visual impact

Best practice: Method 2 for speed, Method 1 for precision

Discord

Text channels:

  • Method 1 or 2 (type them)
  • Works in all channels

Custom server emoji:

  • Method 3 (download PNG)
  • Upload as custom emoji (requires permissions)
  • Now everyone can use :hundred-thumbs:

Reactions:

  • Standard emoji reactions (built-in)
  • Or upload mashup PNG as reaction option

Best practice: Use native emojis for speed, create custom emoji for frequently-used combos

Twitter / X

Tweets:

  • Method 2 (device keyboard) is fastest
  • Or Method 1 if copy-pasting
  • Place at end for emphasis

Image Posts:

  • Can't overlay PNG easily
  • Stick to text emojis in tweet

Best practice: Keep it simple with text emojis. Twitter's character limit makes every space count.

LinkedIn (Professional Context)

Posts/Comments:

  • Method 2 (type them)
  • Use sparingly โ€” emojis on LinkedIn are still casual
  • Only for appropriate content (celebrating wins, not professional advice)

When to skip emojis entirely:

  • Job applications
  • Formal introductions
  • Industry analysis posts
  • Connecting with executives

Best practice: Read the room. If the post is casual celebration, ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ works. If it's serious business discourse, skip it.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Problem: "I copied it but when I paste, nothing appears"

Possible causes:

  1. Clipboard didn't capture (you didn't actually copy)
  2. App doesn't support emojis
  3. You clicked outside the text field before pasting

Solutions:

  • Try copying again, make sure text is highlighted
  • Test paste in Notes app first (if that works, the original app is the problem)
  • Click directly in the text field, THEN paste

Problem: "The emojis show as boxes โ–กโ–ก"

Possible causes:

  1. Recipient's device is too old
  2. Platform doesn't support that emoji version
  3. Emoji rendered incorrectly

Solutions:

  • Ask recipient if they can see ANY emojis (test with simple ones like โค๏ธ)
  • If they can't see any emojis, their device might not support them
  • Try sending as PNG image instead (Method 3)
  • Alternative: Just type it out โ€” "100 thumbs up!"

Problem: "Emoji looks different on friend's phone"

This is NORMAL.

Emojis render differently across platforms:

  • Apple devices: Apple emoji style
  • Android/Google: Google emoji style
  • Samsung: Samsung's emoji style
  • Windows: Microsoft emoji style

๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ is the same Unicode, but the visual design varies. That's expected, not a bug.

Problem: "I can't find ๐Ÿ’ฏ on my emoji keyboard"

Solutions:

  • Search "hundred" or "100" in emoji search
  • Look in "Symbols" category
  • Try "points" or "score"
  • If still not found: Copy-paste from this guide or KitchenMoji

Problem: "The mashup doesn't exist"

Explanation:
Google's Emoji Kitchen doesn't have blends for every possible combination. If you select two emojis and no mashup appears, that combo isn't supported.

Solution:

  • Use the text emojis side-by-side instead (๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘)
  • Try different combinations that might be supported
  • Check KitchenMoji's full list for available mashups

Problem: "Emojis paste in wrong order"

Why it happens: Some apps reverse clipboard content order

Solutions:

  • After pasting, manually reorder (delete and retype in correct order)
  • Or copy each emoji separately and paste one at a time
  • Use device emoji keyboard (Method 2) to type them in order

Problem: "I want to use this in work email but I'm scared"

Honest advice:

Green light:

  • Celebrating team wins (if your workplace is casual)
  • Responding to good news from colleagues you know well
  • Slack/Teams messages (usually more casual than email)

Yellow light:

  • Emails to your immediate boss (gauge their emoji usage first)
  • Client communication (only if they use emojis first)
  • Project updates (keep professional)

Red light:

  • Job applications
  • Initial client pitches
  • Emails to executives you don't know
  • Formal reports or documentation
  • Legal/compliance communication

Rule of thumb: If you have to ask "is this appropriate?", it probably isn't. When in doubt, use words.

FAQ: Your Copy-Share Questions Answered

Can I copyright my emoji mashup?

Short answer: No. Emojis are standardized characters (Unicode), and mashup designs are created by Google. You can USE them freely, but you don't OWN them.

Do emojis work the same on iPhone and Android?

Functionality: Yes, same Unicode character.
Visual design: No, they look slightly different (Apple style vs Google style).
Compatibility: Yes, both devices can send/receive.

Can I use ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ commercially (in ads, products)?

Text emojis (๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘): Generally yes, they're part of Unicode standard.
Mashup PNG images: Google creates these, check their terms. For personal/content creator use: usually fine. For commercial product branding: consult legal.

Safe bet: Text emojis in marketing = okay. Emoji images in logo = talk to a lawyer.

Why does my emoji show different colors on different devices?

Emoji design is device-specific. The same Unicode renders with:

  • Apple's visual style on iPhones/Macs
  • Google's style on Android
  • Microsoft's style on Windows
  • Samsung's style on Samsung devices

It's normal. The MEANING stays the same, just the art style changes.

Can I create my own custom emoji mashup beyond Emoji Kitchen?

Within Emoji Kitchen: Only combinations Google has designed (use KitchenMoji to find them).

Custom designs:

  • Graphic design apps (Canva, Figma, Photoshop)
  • Combine existing emoji images manually
  • Commission an artist

Note: Custom designs = images, not Unicode emojis. They won't work as text.

How do I add emoji mashup to my keyboard permanently?

Short answer: You can't add Unicode characters to the standard keyboard.

Workarounds:

  • Keyboard shortcuts (Mac/Windows): Set up text replacement (type "100thumbs" โ†’ auto-replaces with ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘)
  • Clipboard manager apps: Save frequently-used emojis for quick access
  • Notes app: Keep a note titled "Emojis" with your favorites, copy when needed
  • Bookmark KitchenMoji: One-click access to copy

Is there a faster way than these 3 methods?

For repeat use: Text replacement/shortcuts (see above).
For single use: These ARE the fastest methods. Copy-paste takes ~5 seconds.
Future tech: Voice-to-emoji? Not reliably yet. ("Siri, insert hundred points thumbs up" = hit or miss)

Pro Shortcuts to Save Time

Mac: Text Replacement

  1. System Preferences โ†’ Keyboard โ†’ Text
  2. Click + to add replacement
  3. Replace: 100t โ†’ With: ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘

Note: Choose a shortcut that's:

  • Easy to remember
  • Won't accidentally trigger (100t = good, 100 = bad because you might want to type actual numbers)
  • Consistent across devices (use same shortcut everywhere)

Final Thoughts: You're Now an Emoji Copy-Share Expert

If you made it this far, congratulations โ€” you now know more about copying and sharing emojis than 95% of humans.
