TIKTOK EMOJI TUTORIAL

How to Use Hidden TikTok Emojis (Step-by-Step Guide)

Hidden TikTok emojis work differently from regular emojis on your keyboard. Instead of selecting an emoji, you type a shortcode inside square brackets, and TikTok automatically converts it into a hidden emoji when your caption, comment, or message is published.

Quick Answer

Type the exact hidden TikTok emoji shortcode inside square brackets — for example [happy], [laugh], [loveface], or [cry] — then publish your TikTok caption or comment. TikTok replaces the shortcode with its hidden emoji automatically.

Step 1 — Open TikTok

Launch the TikTok app and open a caption, comment, reply, LIVE chat, or message where you want to insert a hidden emoji.

Step 2 — Copy an Emoji Code

Choose any hidden emoji from this page and copy the shortcode, including the square brackets exactly as shown.

[happy]

Step 3 — Paste the Shortcode

Paste the copied shortcode into your TikTok text field. Do not remove the brackets or change the spelling.

Step 4 — Publish or Preview

After posting, TikTok automatically converts the shortcode into its hidden emoji.

Example

Typed in TikTok After Posting
[happy] Happy hidden TikTok emoji appears.
[laugh] Laugh hidden TikTok emoji appears.
[loveface] Love Face hidden TikTok emoji appears.
[cry] Cry hidden TikTok emoji appears.

Keep the Square Brackets

TikTok only recognizes shortcodes wrapped in square brackets. Removing brackets prevents the emoji from appearing.

Don't Add Spaces

`[love face]` will not work. Use `[loveface]` exactly.

Update TikTok

Older versions of TikTok may not support newer hidden emoji behavior.
