|
|
You can configure Zulip to convert emoticons into emoji, so that, e.g., `:)`
|
|
will be displayed as
|
|
<img
|
|
src="/static/generated/emoji/images-google-64/1f642.png"
|
|
alt="smile"
|
|
class="emoji-small"
|
|
/>
|
|
.

|
|
{start_tabs}

|
|
|
{settings_tab|preferences}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Emoji settings**, select **Convert emoticons before sending**.
|
|
|
|

|
|

## Change your emoji set

Your emoji set determines how you see emoji. It has no effect on the emoji

|
you send. Zulip emoji are compatible with screen readers and other accessibility tools.

|
|
|
|
**Google blobs** is an old style of Google emoji that has not been maintained
|
|
by Google since 2017, when they switched to a more modern style. Zulip allows
|
|
you to still use blob emoji, but any new emoji that have been released since
|
|
2017 will be displayed in the modern **Google** style.
