Communication is difficult. And when you’re communicating through text, it’s not uncommon to misrepresent the things you want to say or do.
This is where Emojis can help. First introduced with mobile phones in Japan back in the 90s, Emojis can help you convey your ideas or emotions more clearly. Luckily, you can use the effect of Emojis on your Windows computer as well.
In what follows, we’ll cover the exact steps you need to follow for adding in and using emojis through your Windows keyboard. Let’s get started.
How to use emoji on Windows 10
You can easily add in emojis on your Windows through a simple keyboard shortcut. Here’s how.
- Open any text editor app. For example: Word, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Edge are the related apps.
- Now head to any area on the text editor and press the Windows key + ; or Windows key + . shortcut.
- Select the emoji tab and pick any emoji you’d like to insert in your computer.
That's it. Do this and your selected emoji will be inserted in your PC. Moreover, you can also look up an emoji by typing its name in the emoji search bar.
Some other fun stuff
Apart from emojis, you can also use symbols or kaomoji on your texts on Windows. The process will be the same up to the second point from above. From there, instead of the emoji icon, select the smiley or symbol tab.
You can then pick any style you want to choose by clicking on its tab and click on the specific emoticon.
