## Add emoji to a message
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to add emoji to a message: typing emoji codes,
|
|
|
|
|
selecting from an emoji picker, using emoticons, or pasting unicode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Type an emoji code
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{!start-composing.md!}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Type `:` followed by a few letters to open the emoji autocomplete. The
|
|
|
|
|
letters don't have to be at the beginning of the emoji name; `:ppl` will
|
|
|
|
|
match `:apple:`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't know the code for an emoji, you can see what it's called in the
|
|
|
|
|
emoji picker, or hover over the emoji in a message.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Select from the emoji picker
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{!start-composing.md!}

1. Click the smiley face (<i class="fa fa-smile-o"></i>) icon at the
|

|
|
|
bottom of the compose box.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Select an emoji. You can type to search, use the arrow keys, or click on
|
|
|
|
|
an emoji with your mouse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Use emoticons
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Enable emoticon translations](/help/enable-emoticon-translations), and then
|
|
|
|
|
type away :). That link also has the list of supported emoticons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Paste unicode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copying and pasting emoji from other apps generally works.
