# Expand Emojis With The Spread Operator
There are a number of emojis that are not stand-alone unicode characters,
but instead are [a combination of two or more other
emojis](http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html#1f468_200d_1f469_200d_1f466).
The two main places this happens is with family emojis and emojis using
non-simpsons skin tones.
You can use JavaScript's spread operator to expand these emojis to see what
their base components are. Here is a screenshot of a few that I expanded
from Chrome's dev tools.
