# Emoji and emoticons
## 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.
