TikTok Emoji Naming Conventions
TikTok emojis have both official Unicode names and community-created nicknames. The official names are standardized across platforms, while TikTok nicknames often relate to how the emoji is used on the platform.
For example, while 💀 is officially named "Skull," on TikTok it's commonly referred to as "I'm Dead" because it's used to indicate extreme laughter rather than literal death.
Special emoji combinations like 👁️👄👁️ don't have official Unicode names since they're created by combining multiple emojis, but they develop community nicknames based on their appearance and usage on TikTok.
