Content Policy

What may and may not appear in a collection on SoShareIT Emojis, how submissions are reviewed, and how to report something. This policy applies to every collection page and to every character submitted by a visitor.

Last updated: 28 August 2026.

The principle

This is a decoration library for a general audience — a lot of it is used by teenagers decorating a bio. So the bar is simple: a character or combination belongs here if someone would reasonably want to paste it into a public profile. Anything that exists to demean, sexualise or harass does not, however popular the search term is.

Not allowed

  • Hate and slurs. Anything attacking or demeaning people by race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or illness — including combinations that spell a slur out of decorated characters.
  • Sexual content. Sexually explicit combinations or ASCII-style sexual imagery. Slugs and collections built for that purpose are removed, not hidden.
  • Anything sexualising a minor. Zero tolerance, removed on sight and reported where the law requires.
  • Harassment and threats. Combinations naming or targeting a private individual, or depicting violence against one.
  • Personal information. Real names of private people, addresses, phone numbers, emails, account passwords. A submitted character is public the moment it appears.
  • Spam and promotion. Submissions used to advertise a service, push a link, or seed a brand name.
  • Deception. Anything presented as an official badge, a real verification mark, a security warning or a system message.

Deliberately allowed

Over-filtering breaks a decoration library, so these stay:

  • Combos that look broken to an editor. Stacked combining marks and unusual brackets often render perfectly on a phone. Odd appearance in a desktop tool is not grounds for removal.
  • Characters from any script. Thai, Canadian syllabics, Tibetan, Javanese and others are used decoratively in aesthetic combos. They stay, with an explanation of what the character actually is.
  • Flags. Flag characters are text and are listed because people search for them. Listing one is not a political statement.
  • Dark, gothic, “cursed” and edgy aesthetics. A mood is not a policy breach. Skulls, chains and gothic frames are ordinary decoration.
  • “Verified” styling. Allowed, and always labelled as decorative — see trademarks & non-affiliation.

How submissions are reviewed

Submitted characters are checked against this policy before they earn a place in a curated set, alongside the technical filtering described on how we curate and verify — duplicates and fully invisible entries are dropped. Review is human judgement, not a word list, because the same characters can be innocent decoration in one arrangement and a slur in another.

Enforcement

Where something breaches this policy we remove the item, and where a whole collection exists only to serve prohibited content we remove the page rather than quietly hiding it from search. We may also block submissions from a source that repeatedly breaches this policy.

Reporting something

To report a character or a page, email [email protected] with the page URL and the character itself pasted into the message, plus one line on what is wrong with it. Reports involving a minor, personal information, or content targeting a named individual are handled first. You do not need an account to report anything, and you can use the contact page instead if you prefer.

Legal ground rules for using the site are in the terms of use; what we store is in the privacy policy.
