Hi, there. It’s wonderful to ‘see’ you! While working on my Seven Days, Seven Snaps post tonight, I stumbled across a fun little trick! You might already know about this, but I think a few of you will find it super handy. I’ve always loved seeing cute emoji’s on other blogs to show different emotions, but up until now, I was actually copying and pasting them from Google searches. Turns out, there is a much faster and easier way to open the built-in emoji menu! 🤔
iOS Menu
I will first explain how to pull up the emoji menu on a Mac using the iOS software. (I use Mac 💻)
- Open the menu: press Control key + Command key + Space bar at the same time to open the emoji & symbol menu.
- Search for the desired emoji/symbol.
- Insert the emoji. Click on the emoji you want. It will be added where the curser is blinking.
There’s a second approach to display the emoji menu. Simply click the Edit in the top tool bar. Once this opens, at the bottom select Emoji & Symbols.
Windows PC
Instructions from Google search. (Because I don’t use PC. 💻)
That’s it. It was a short, fun little tip. Hopefully, it may come in handy for you! Do you like to use emoji’s ⁉️😘
Yesterday is today’s memory.
Be sure to capture your memory today!
All the best,.

Thanks! I rarely think to use emoji’s but really didn’t know how to anymore since I switched to Firefox and emojis aren’t as readily available.
I’ve been having fun using them more on the blog 😁😂
Thanks for the Mac tip! I usually go up to my Chrome menu and pull the emoji menu down from there. This is much easier!!
I know, the searching and pasting was a hassle. I love using emoji’s now! ❤️
It took me a couple of times to get the timing right, but I finally did it! 🤣🤣

Wonderful! I know I like using those cute little emoji’s 🤪
Oh wow, I love this! thank you so much for this wonderful tip! Like you, I googled an emoticon and then copied and pasted it. This is so much easier!
Anything that makes blogging a bit more simple!!
Have a wonderful weekend.
All the best.
I appreciate the shortcut for Mac users—Control+Command+Space is much faster than copying from a search. For Windows, I think the Win+Period key combo works similarly, which might be a handy addition. Thanks for sharing this practical tip for everyday blogging.
You are welcome and thank you for the added Windows tip!
All the best.
Super, super handy! I’m so glad to know this. I use the colon+end parentheses smiley 🙂 often enough that I really would like to know how to use a “real” smiley face instead! Thank you. Visiting from the You Name It link party.
I’m happy that you found this useful. When I discovered this, I was tickled!
All the best.
