Random Emoji Picker

Pick a count, tick the categories you want, choose a separator and generate. The pool holds 607 emoji across ten categories — smileys 63, hands and people 60, animals 65, food 77, activities 64, travel 64, objects 65, symbols 79, nature 50, weather 20 — and the five categories enabled by default give you 315 to draw from. Counts run from 1 to 200.

Draws are made with replacement, so repeats are normal rather than a fault. With the 315-emoji default pool the chance of at least one duplicate is 19.1% in a run of 12 and 59.3% in a run of 24 — the birthday problem, and the reason a "random" set that looks suspiciously doubled usually isn't. Each index comes from a 32-bit value out of crypto.getRandomValues, so the sequence is unpredictable rather than merely scrambled; the modulo that maps it into the pool does introduce a bias, but at roughly 7 × 10⁻⁸ it is some six orders of magnitude below anything you could detect by looking.

One practical detail if you are pasting the result into code or a database column: an emoji is not a character. 82 of the 607 entries occupy more than one code point — ☺️, ✌️ and ❤️ carry a variation selector, and the polar bear 🐻‍❄️ is a zero-width-joiner sequence of four code points and five UTF-16 units. So twelve emoji can easily be thirty units long, and a VARCHAR(20) that looks generous will truncate mid-sequence and leave a fragment behind.
