Custom emoji are added to Mastodon etc by a server's admin. Anyone can see them from other servers, but only people on that server can use them.

For example :amiga: is a custom emoji.

To see your server's custom emoji, click the 🙂 icon. (On mobile apps this is within the app itself, standard emoji are accessed via the on-screen keyboard.)

Any image or animation can be a custom emoji, ask your server's admin if you have a suggestion.
