6. If you want "phone" emojis in your text... (not just the "DU" smilies)

Do whatever your computer or phone requires (a magic key combination or the globe symbol on the keyboard) and you will get the emoji keyboard if you enabled it. These are "unicode" characters that the title and text fields recognize and display.

Computer example: (I invoked with control-command-spacebar)



Phone example:



You can get additional "emoji keyboards" for phones and tablets in app stores, and sometimes just do a web search for "volcano emoji" or whatever and copy and paste the character IF it's a unicode character and not a graphic image. To do the latter, you have to follow the procedure for inserting images in your post.

When you reply to someone, click on the "smilies" option to the far right. tanyev Dec 2022 #1
