To put emojis in Discord channel names, you'll need to use a specific format that involves combining the emoji code with the channel name.
Discord uses a unique syntax to insert emojis into channel names, which is :emoji_name:. This syntax is crucial to getting the emoji to display correctly in your channel name.
Here are the easy steps to follow:
1. First, type a colon : before the emoji code. This is the key to getting the emoji to display in your channel name.
2. Next, type the emoji code, which is usually a combination of letters and numbers. For example, the smiling face emoji is :smile:.

Creating a Custom Name
To create a custom name for your Discord channel, you'll need to have the Manage Channels permission, which is automatically granted to server owners.
You can create a custom name while creating the channel itself, or edit an existing channel's name. On desktop, click on the server name, then the Create Channel button, and use your operating system's default emoji keyboard hotkey to add an emoji to the channel name.
For mobile, press on the server name, then the Create Channel button, and use your mobile's operating system's keyboard to add an emoji to the channel name.

Text and Voice Naming

Text and Voice Naming is quite different on Discord. Text-based channels will replace all spaces in channel names with a dash, and they don’t support uppercase characters.
Text channels will transform your input into a new name, so if you type "Text Channel Number 1", it will become "text-channel-number-1". Voice-based channels, on the other hand, support both spaces and uppercase characters.
Voice-based channels also support native emojis, which can be accessed using your operating system's default emoji keyboard hotkey. For example, on Windows, you can press WIN + . to open the native emoji keyboard.
Here are the hotkeys for opening the native emoji keyboard on different operating systems:
All channel names have a character limit of 100, but it's generally recommended to keep them shorter to avoid truncation on the desktop version of Discord.
Editing and Updating Names
To edit a Discord channel name, you need to have the right permissions, specifically the Manage Channels permission. If you're the server owner, you have all permissions by default.
