# Emoji
|
||
|
||
Emoji allow you to add a little character and some fun to your
|
||
messages! This guide shows you how to send emoji by using Zulip’s
|
||
built-in emoji menu, pasting Unicode, or typing the emoji code.
|
||
|
||
### Using the emoji menu
|
||
1. Start by composing a [new message](/help/#reply-to-a-message).
|
||
2. Click the smiley face under the left edge of the message box.
|
||
3. Click any emoji to include it in your messsage.
|
||
|
||
### Unicode
|
||
Zulip fully supports Unicode emoji. To use Unicode emoji in your message:
|
||
|
||
1. Copy any emoji you would like to include onto your clipboard. For example, 😀.
|
||
2. Compose a [new message or reply](/help/#reply-to-a-message).
|
||
3. Paste the emoji into the message box.

|
||
You can browse the
|
||
[Unicode Consortium's full list of emoji](http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html),
|
||
however emoji on Zulip may appear different than the ones listed.
|
||
|
||
### Using emoji codes
|
||
1. Start by composing a
|
||
new message or reply.
|
||
2. Type in the emoji code. For example `:smile:` produces the
|
||
following icon:<img
|
||
src="/static/generated/emoji/images/emoji/smile.png" alt="smile"
|
||
style="width: 3%;"/>.

If you are unsure of the code for any particular emoji, visit
|
||
[Emoji Cheat Sheet](http://www.webpagefx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/)
|
||
for a complete list. Furthermore, after typing `:` and any two letters, an
|
||
autocomplete menu will appear displaying five emoji codes. These emoji
|
||
contain the letters you typed and are sorted alphabetically by code.
|
||
You can also cycle through these suggestions by using the `↑` and `↓`
|
||
arrow keys.
