How to Create an Emoji Keyboard in Windows 10

Windows 10 has a full set of up-to-date emojis, but that's quite hidden from the user. To solve this, WinMoji is a program that promises to help you use more cards in your system applications. Available for free, the project creates a small floating window that works like the Microsoft virtual keyboard, allowing searching for the desired emoticons. See in this tutorial how to install and use Winmoji on your PC.

Step 6. Go to the application where you want to use emoji and use the paste command (Ctrl + V).

Note: some emojis appear accompanied by the male or female symbol, which is nothing more than the standard indicated by Unicode to determine the gender of the character. If Windows supports the figurine, it will appear normally in the application. If not, your friends on other systems will be able to view them normally if they have upgraded emojis support.

WinMoji can display some Unicode codes in place of emoji

Tip: If you know English, you can use the search box to search for emoji in WinMoji and save time. In the example below, we look for "smile".
