You can replace a default emoji by adding a custom emoji of the same
name. If an emoji has several names, you must use the emoji's primary name
to replace it. You can find the primary name of an emoji by hovering over it
in the [emoji picker](/help/add-emoji), while the search box is empty (you
may have to scroll down a bit to find it).

# Add emoji
Emoji are little characters and that add some fun to your messages! This guide
shows you how to send messages containing emoji by using Zulips built-in emoji
menu, pasting Unicode, or manually inputting the emoji code.
## Using the emoji menu
{!start-composing.md!}
2. Click the smiley face (<i class="icon-vector-smile"></i>) icon in the
bottom left corner of the compose box.
3. Upon clicking on the smiley face (<i class="icon-vector-smile"></i>)
icon, the emoji menu will appear below the compose box. Click on an emoji in
the emoji menu to include it in your message.
## Pasting Unicode
Zulip fully supports Unicode emoji. To use Unicode emoji in your message:
1. Copy any emoji you would like to include onto your clipboard, such as 😀.
{!start-composing.md!}
3. Paste the emoji into the **Compose your message here...** field of the
compose box.
!!! tip ""
You can browse the
[Unicode Consortium's full list of emoji](http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html);
however, Zulip emoji may look different than the ones listed.
## Using emoji codes
{!start-composing.md!}
2. In the **Compose your message here...** field, type in the emoji code
surrounded by colons. For example, `:smile:` produces the <img
src="/static/generated/emoji/images/emoji/smile.png" alt="smile"
style="width: 3%;"/> emoji.
!!! tip ""
If you are unsure of the code for any particular emoji, visit
[Emoji Cheat Sheet](http://www.webpagefx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/)
for a complete list. Furthermore, after typing `:` and any two letters,
autocomplete suggestions will appear. These emoji contain the letters you
typed and are sorted alphabetically by code. You can also cycle through
these suggestions by using the `↑` and `↓` arrow keys.

# Emoji and emoticons
## Add emoji to a message
There are several ways to add emoji to a message: typing emoji codes,
selecting from an emoji picker, using emoticons, or pasting unicode.
### Type an emoji code
{!start-composing.md!}
1. Type `:` followed by a few letters to open the emoji autocomplete. The
letters don't have to be at the beginning of the emoji name; `:ppl` will
match `:apple:`
If you don't know the code for an emoji, you can see what it's called in the
emoji picker, or hover over the emoji in a message.
### Select from the emoji picker
{!start-composing.md!}
1. Click the smiley face (<i class="icon-vector-smile"></i>) icon at the
bottom of the compose box.
1. Select an emoji. You can type to search, use the arrow keys, or click on
an emoji with your mouse.
### Use emoticons
[Enable emoticon translations](/help/enable-emoticon-translations), and then
type away :). That link also has the list of supported emoticons.
### Paste unicode
Copying and pasting emoji from other apps generally works.
