It is fun to send emails or write messages if you can add a little flair to it. Rather than just typing letters and words, you can best represent your moods thanks to Emojis. These small icons are representations of different emotions or activities that you want to emphasize in your text.
For instance, if you are feeling grateful to a person and are touched by a gesture, you can add a smiling emoji surrounded by hearts. That way, your receiver will know that you feel loved. If you are feeling depressed but cannot put it into words, a sad and crying emoji will help you express it.
Microsoft has integrated emoji into its Windows 10 Operating System and it has become useful to many users. Now, you can add emoji to your email or text documents with just a few clicks. Microsoft features the Emoji bar, which combines different kinds of emoji in one bar for users to choose from. You can choose an emoji to use for any file or app.
