The keycap set
A number emoji is a keycap sequence: a plain digit, the variation selector U+FE0F and the combining enclosing keycap U+20E3. That is why 1️⃣ is three characters long and why it can fail to render on very old systems, which show a bare “1” followed by a box. The digits 0–9, # and * are original 2010 emoji from Japanese phones; 🔟 ten is a single character added in Emoji 1.0.
For numbers above ten, put keycaps side by side: 1️⃣1️⃣ for eleven, 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ for a year. Screen readers read each keycap as “keycap one”, so long numbers become noisy; for a date or a price in a caption, plain digits are kinder.
How people use number emoji
- Numbered lists: 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ at the start of each line in captions, tweets and Slack posts.
- Countdowns: 3️⃣ 2️⃣ 1️⃣ 🎉 before a launch or a New Year post.
- Rankings: #️⃣1️⃣ for “number one”, or 🥇 from the medal guide.
- Slang: 6️⃣7️⃣ became a meme in 2025 (see slang emoji), and 💯 means “absolutely” — its own guide covers it.
- Polls and reactions: Discord and Slack use keycap reactions for voting.
Typing a number emoji
On iPhone the keycaps are in the Symbols section of the emoji keyboard. On Gboard type “one” or “keycap” in the emoji search. In Slack and Discord type :one: to :keycap_ten:, :hash: and :asterisk:. Everywhere else, copy from the cards above; the full sequence is copied, so it pastes as the emoji.
Common number emojis: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
1️⃣ often marks first place or a top pick, 2️⃣ signals a pair or second place, 3️⃣ appears in trios, countdowns and dates, and 4️⃣, 5️⃣, 6️⃣, 7️⃣ complete longer numbers like phone numbers, scores or years. Place keycaps side by side to build larger numbers – 1️⃣3️⃣ reads as thirteen.
Use them where space is tight or to add visual rhythm to a caption. They keep their meaning across platforms.
For a quick copy, tap any card at the top of this page. The whole keycap sequence is copied, so pasting into WhatsApp, Messenger or Instagram gives you the same emoji.
Hashtag emoji #️⃣ and hash symbol
#️⃣ is the keycap version of the hash symbol, often called the hashtag emoji. It wraps the # in a keycap square. To copy it, use the card at the top of this page or the shortcode :hash: in Slack and Discord.
If you need a plain hash symbol without the keycap, type # from your keyboard. The hash sign is also known as a pound sign or number sign.
Questions people ask
Is there a number emoji?
Yes: keycaps 0️⃣ to 9️⃣, 🔟 for ten, plus #️⃣ and *️⃣. Larger numbers are written as several keycaps in a row.
Why does 1️⃣ show as a plain 1 with a box?
The receiving system does not support keycap sequences, so it draws the digit and the enclosing keycap separately. Every current phone shows it correctly.
What is the 🔢 emoji?
Input numbers, a button showing 1234. It stands for numbers or a numeric keypad in general and is not a specific digit.
