# Add Emojis to your text

The little-known shortcut for adding emojis on Mac and Windows🤓

It’s worth taking the time to "color" your automated responses with emojis. Emojis are essential to communicate emotion 🎭, something that words cannot portray. They'll make your automated messages feel more natural and visually appealing. 🌈

## How to insert emojis into any text

### Using a key combination

**1. Click on any text field**

Position your cursor in any text field where you’d like to add an emoji. For example, you can do this in a Bonomi Message:

**2. Press the necessary keyboard combination**

Depending on the operating system you're using, you should press:

* For **Windows**: Press **Windows** and **(.)** keys
* For **Mac:** Press the **Command** and **Control** keys on your Mac keyboard and then press **Space**

**3. Choose your emoji from the list**

You’ll now see the emoji keyboard palette launch within your screen:

You can scroll through all the available emojis and categories (People, Nature, Food & Drink, Celebration, Activity, Travel & Places, and Objects & Symbols) or search the full list of emoji from the search box at the top of the window.

**4. Click to add the emoji to your text**

Once you’ve found the emoji you’d like to add, click on it and it’ll appear in your text box to the left of the cursor:

### Using a dedicated website

There are dedicated websites, that will help you search for emojis. For example, you can use [Emojipedia](https://emojipedia.org/) to find emojis you like, and then simply copy that emoji from the site, and paste it into the text box.
