The dictionary of internet culture
About Slangary
Slangary is an independent reference site for the language people use online: emoji, slang, memes, symbols and text faces.
A meaning, an example, something you can use
An emoji can be friendly in one conversation and sarcastic in another. A symbol can look right but be the wrong character to paste. Our pages bring definitions, context, examples and copyable characters together so you can make a more informed choice.
For practical tasks, start with the emoji keyboard shortcuts. For an app's own status icons, see Snapchat emoji meanings.
Who publishes this site?
The guides and tools are published under the Slangary name. This is an independent project, not an official dictionary from Unicode or a support service run by Apple, Google, Microsoft or Snapchat.
Slangary uses AI-assisted development and drafting. The editorial policy explains the standard for sources, uncertainty, examples and updates.
Context matters
A definition describes a usage; it cannot tell you what a particular person intended. Community, region, age and the surrounding conversation can all affect meaning. Use the examples as illustrations, and follow the linked sources when you need the original documentation.
