Using Emojis in Your Animation

Emojis work natively in map animation labels and text overlays. Include any emoji directly in your prompt text and it will render on the map — flag emojis on country labels, symbols in titles, reaction icons in annotations.

Flag emojis

Country flag emojis (🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇯🇵) render perfectly on labels. Great for identifying countries without text.

"label each country with its flag emoji"

Symbol emojis

Use ⚔️ 💥 🔥 ⚡ 🏛️ 🌍 to add visual emphasis to titles and annotations.

"title: ⚔️ The Great War ⚔️"

Reaction emojis

Use 😱 💀 😤 🎉 to add emotional context to labels and captions.

"label: 💀 500,000 casualties"

Example phrases

"Label each country with its flag emoji (🇺🇸 for USA, 🇷🇺 for Russia)" · "The title reads '⚔️ Battle of Stalingrad ⚔️' in bold white" · "A label shows '🔥 Conflict Zone' over the disputed region" · "Add '🏛️ Treaty of Versailles' as the title"

✓ Tip: Emojis work in ANY text position — titles, country labels, counters, typewriter text, geographic annotations, and screen-fixed overlays. They automatically render in full color on all platforms.

Multi-Language and Script Support

The animation engine supports text in virtually every world language and script. Write your labels in any language — the system automatically detects the script and loads the correct font to render it perfectly. No boxes, no missing characters.

🌐
Latin & Cyrillic

English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Romanian, and all Latin or Cyrillic-based languages.

🕌
Arabic Script

Arabic, Persian (Farsi), Urdu, Pashto — full cursive joining and right-to-left rendering.

✡️
Hebrew

Modern Hebrew and Yiddish with correct right-to-left text direction.

🇮🇳
South Asian

Hindi (Devanagari), Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Sinhala, Gurmukhi.

🇨🇳
East Asian

Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji), Korean (Hangul).

🇹🇭
Southeast Asian

Thai, Lao, Myanmar, Khmer, Javanese — complex scripts with combining marks rendered correctly.

🇪🇹
African

Ethiopic (Amharic, Tigrinya), Tifinagh (Berber), Vai, Bamum, and N'Ko scripts.

🇬🇪
Other Scripts

Georgian, Armenian, Cherokee, Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, Tibetan, Mongolian, and more.

Example phrases

"Label Russia as 'Россия' in Cyrillic" · "Add the title 'الحرب العالمية' in Arabic" · "Label Japan as '日本' and China as '中国'" · "Show 'भारत' over India in Devanagari" · "Label Thailand as 'ประเทศไทย'"

✓ Tip: You can mix languages in the same animation. The engine handles mixed-script text automatically — for example, a title in English with Arabic annotations, or Japanese labels alongside English subtitles.

Right-to-Left (RTL) Languages

Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, Persian, and other RTL scripts are fully supported. The engine automatically detects RTL text and applies correct bidirectional rendering — text flows right-to-left, punctuation and numbers are positioned correctly.

Example phrases

"Add an Arabic title: 'الغزو الروسي لأوكرانيا' in bold white" · "Label Israel as 'ישראל' in Hebrew" · "Show 'جنگ' (War) as a Persian label over Iran" · "Add Urdu subtitle: 'کشمیر تنازع' below the title"

✗ Avoid

"Add a title in Arabic"

Too vague — the AI doesn't know what the text should say.

✓ Better

"Add the title 'حرب أكتوبر' (October War) in bold white Arabic text, centered at the top of the screen"

Specific text, clear positioning.

Google Fonts — Use Any Font You Want

The animation engine supports ALL Google Fonts — over 1,600 font families. Simply name the font in your prompt and the system dynamically loads it at render time.

Name the font

Just say the font name. The engine loads it from Google Fonts automatically.

"use Playfair Display for the title"

Popular choices

Montserrat, Oswald, Bebas Neue, Roboto, Lora, Merriweather, Poppins, Raleway, and hundreds more.

"title in Bebas Neue uppercase"

Script-specific fonts

Noto Sans Arabic, Noto Sans JP, Noto Serif Bengali — Google's Noto family covers every script.

"use Noto Sans Arabic for the labels"

Example phrases

"Title in Bebas Neue bold uppercase: 'OPERATION BARBAROSSA'" · "Country labels in Montserrat, clean and modern" · "Use Playfair Display italic for the quote" · "Subtitle in Oswald light: 'The Eastern Front, 1941-1945'" · "Title in Noto Serif Bengali: 'বাংলাদেশ মুক্তিযুদ্ধ'"

⚠ Note: Font names must match Google Fonts exactly (case-insensitive). If a font isn't found, the system falls back to the default sans-serif. You can check available fonts at fonts.google.com.
