# 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 `:slight_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.
{start_tabs}
{settings_tab|display-settings}
1. Under **Emoji settings**, select **Google modern**, **Google classic**,
or **Twitter**.
{end_tabs}
