Docs

Use emoji and emoji reactions to indicate an emotion or convey meaning with an image in a Google Doc. Find out how.

Mention or message me on Mastodon (@awolber) to let me know how you use emoji in Google Docs. In both cases, the following sequence of steps gives you access to the emoji keyboard options, from which you may select the emoji reaction you prefer. To add an emoji reaction, first select some text in your document, then either use the menus to access Insert Alternatively, if you know the name of the emoji you wish to use, you may type the colon key, followed by the text description of the emoji. Once you’ve located the emoji you want, click or tap on it to insert the emoji into your document. However, in my testing and experience, both emoji and emoji reactions are supported in the mobile Google Docs apps.
