Hi @bluesky63 welcome to the community. Can you share a link to the video please?

I haven’t seen the video you’re referring to but if you’re on Windows 10 (or 11?) you can use WINDOWS_KEY+PERIOD or WINDOWS_KEY+COLON to get the MS Windows Emoji panel.
Not sure if that works similarly in other OS’s but I’m sure some Googling will answer that one.

Hope that helps…

Mr Qazi just enter colon and the list of emojis display for select, or if you know the name of emoji just. :smile:

Hi @bluesky63 thanks for your reply.

I see what you mean. I think that’s maybe either an older version of the Replit UI or they’ve added functionality. I’ll ask the Replit Engineering team for more information.

In the short term you can use sites like 😀 Grinning Face Emoji to copy and paste emoji into your code. Hope this helps

yes, when insert Colon, there will be a list of emojis to select, or just :sun, :moon. for e.g

Hi @bluesky63 this isn’t a feature of the Replit UI.

oh, you want to get that into a repl? If that is the case, I found a github repo that might help with this.
