- Not many people know that Windows 10 includes a special emoji keyboard.
- The virtual keyboard is hidden behind two shortcuts.
- Besides emojis, the keyboard includes kaomoji and special symbol support.
Emojis are anything but new. Most virtual keyboards include support for emojis, but I bet you didn’t know Windows 10 has one. No, I’m not talking about the touchscreen keyboard, but the dedicated emoji keyboard.
How to Use the Windows 10 Emoji Keyboard
- Click in an input field or text document.
- Press one of the two combinations: WIN + “.” or WIN + “;”.
- Click on the emoji you want to use (like this one 😊).
- Alternatively, you can select from two additional tabs, one with kaomojis (Japanese emoticons), and one with special symbols (this one has multiple tabs included at the bottom).
