use Swift Unicode escape sequence concept:

let emojiString = "\u{1F4C4}"

and if you want to get all emoji's Unicode then try this

let emojiRanges = [
    0x1F601...0x1F64F,
    0x2702...0x27B0,
    0x1F680...0x1F6C0,
    0x1F170...0x1F251
]

for range in emojiRanges {
    for i in range {
        var c = String(UnicodeScalar(i))
        print(c)
    }
}

@YaseenKhan just use that Unicode wherever you want like for eg if you want that emoji with your label then concat that emoji Unicode with your text message and assign to that label – Mahesh Dangar Jul 26 '18 at 12:12
