# Add emoji
|
||
|
||
Emoji are little characters and that add some fun to your messages! This guide
|
||
shows you how to send messages containing emoji by using Zulip’s built-in emoji
|
||
menu, pasting Unicode, or manually inputting the emoji code.
|
||
|
||
## Using the emoji menu
|
||
1. Start by composing a [new message](/help/reply-to-a-message).
|
||
2. Click the smiley face (<i class="icon-vector-smile"></i>) icon under the left
|
||
edge of the message box.
|
||
3. Click on any emoji to include it in your messsage.
|
||
|
||
## Pasting 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, such as 😀.
|
||
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, Zulip emoji 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 surrounded by colons. For example, `:smile:` produces
|
||
the <img src="/static/generated/emoji/images/emoji/smile.png"
|
||
alt="smile" style="width: 3%;"/> emoji.

||
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,
|
||
autocomplete suggestions will appear. 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.
