Link in bio
Link in bio emoji
The usual link in bio emoji are 🔗 (link), 👇 (pointing down) and ☝️ or 👆 (pointing up). Put one at the end of your bio line or caption, and use a different emoji on each link on your page so people find the right one fast.
The emoji to copy
These are the ones people use most to point at a link. The names are Unicode's, which is also what screen readers read out.
- 🔗 link: the plain "there's a link" sign
- 👇 backhand index pointing down: in a bio, pointing to the link below it
- ☝️ index pointing up and 👆 backhand index pointing up: in a caption, pointing up to the profile
- ⬇️ down arrow: a calmer version of 👇
- 👉 backhand index pointing right: before a link in a list
- 📌 pushpin: for "pinned" or "start here"
Where to put them
In your bio, put the emoji at the end of the line just before your link: "New recipes every Sunday 👇". In a caption, the link is on your profile, above the post, so "Link in bio ☝️" points the right way.
One emoji is enough. Screen readers read each one aloud by name, so three pointing hands in a row become a long sentence for someone listening.
An emoji on every link
On your link-in-bio page itself, emoji work as small icons. A 🎬 next to your latest video, ✉️ next to your newsletter and 🛍️ next to your shop let people scan the list without reading every word.
In Liite, every link can carry an emoji or an image as its thumbnail. Pick one per link and keep the meaning the same across your page: if 🛍️ means the shop, don't use it for anything else.
- 🎬 or ▶️ for a video
- ✉️ or 📩 for a newsletter or email
- 🛍️ or 🛒 for a shop
- 📅 for booking
- 🎧 for music or a podcast
- 🎟️ for tickets
A real example
The Classic links template, compiled by the same code that builds every Liite page. Each link has its own emoji thumbnail: 🎬 for the latest video, ✉️ for the newsletter, 🛍️ for the shop. The name is a sample.

Questions
- What is the link in bio emoji?
- There's no single official one. The most used are 🔗 (named "link" in Unicode), 👇 to point down to a link in a bio, and ☝️ or 👆 to point up from a caption to the profile.
- Should I point up or down?
- Point at where the link is from where the text sits. In your bio, the link usually sits just below your bio text, so 👇. In a caption, your profile is above the post, so ☝️ or 👆.
- Can I put an emoji on each link on my Liite page?
- Yes. Every link can have an emoji or an image as its thumbnail. Pick it when you edit the link.
- Do emoji look the same on every phone?
- No. Each platform draws its own version, so 🔗 on an iPhone looks a little different from 🔗 on Android. The meaning stays the same.
