Sorry With Emojis, Repeated
The block above repeats the literal phrase, and the table below gives you the faces to build the version you actually meant. Type sorry and an emoji into the box and the wall rebuilds around it.

The phrase, and the thing you actually want
The block above repeats the literal words “sorry with emojis”, because that is the phrase people search for. It is almost never the phrase anyone wants to send. What they mean is the word sorry followed by an emoji, over and over. The box accepts emoji, so type your own version, press a count, and the wall rebuilds from it.
Faces that carry an apology
| Emoji | Unicode name | Codepoint | How it reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| 😔 | Pensive Face | U+1F614 | Quiet and downcast. The default apology face and the least theatrical of the set |
| 🥺 | Face With Pleading Eyes | U+1F97A | Begging rather than sorry. Reads younger and softer than the others |
| 😭 | Loudly Crying Face | U+1F62D | Full distress. A hundred of these reads as a joke whether or not you meant one |
| 🙏 | Person With Folded Hands | U+1F64F | Read as please or thank you at least as often as sorry, depending on who is looking |
| 💔 | Broken Heart | U+1F494 | For the apology that is about the relationship rather than the mistake |
Emoji cost more than they look
Two things change the moment an emoji enters the string. The counter under the box uses the browser’s own string length, which stores most emoji as two units rather than one, so the word sorry plus a space plus a face reads as 8 characters and not 7. And a text message containing any emoji leaves the plain-text alphabet for UCS-2, where one SMS carries 70 characters instead of 160 and a multipart message carries 67 per piece instead of 153. The same wall costs roughly twice as many messages once it is decorated.
The plain arithmetic
With no emoji in it the sums are simple. “Sorry with emojis” is 17 characters, so 100 copies is 1,799 characters, 1,000 copies is 17,999, and 10,000 copies is 179,999. One Discord message, capped at 2,000 characters, holds 111 copies. If you want the word on its own, sorry is the shortest form at 599 characters per hundred, and i am sorry is the full sentence. Please with emojis is built the same way.
