# 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 from another
|
|
site.
|
|
|
|
### Type an emoji code
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{!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:`
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
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_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{!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.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
### Use emoticons
|
|
|
|
Use `:)` and `:/` instead of typing `:smile:` and `:confused:`.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|display-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Emoji settings**, select **Convert emoticons before sending**.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
The list of supported emoticons is available
|
|
[here](/help/enable-emoticon-translations).
|
|
|
|
### Paste from another site
|
|
|
|
Copying and pasting emoji from other sites generally works.
|
|
[Contact us](/help/contact-support) if you find a site where it doesn't!
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|display-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Theme**, select **Google**,
|
|
**Twitter**, **Plain text**, or **Google blobs** for the emoji theme.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
!!! warn ""
|
|
|
|
**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.
