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

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
