# Send Emoji

### **Copying from website**

To send emojis, all you need to do is copy them into your message text. There are numerous websites where you can find and copy emojis, one such resource is [https://getemoji.com](https://getemoji.com/)

### **Hot Keys**

To do this, place the cursor in the text box and use hotkeys:

* For Windows: `Win + .`
* For MacOS: `control + command + space` \
  Then select the character of interest in the pop-up window.

### **Character codes**

We recommend using UTF-16. To do this, you need to represent the character as a hexadecimal number or a surrogate pair, two hexadecimal numbers. These numbers are available in the [Unicode character table](https://apps.timwhitlock.info/unicode/inspect/hex/1F63B). \
For example: `\uD83D\uDE3B`

* Click the Unicode column value next to the selected emoticon.
* Then select the surrogate couples column
* To indicate that the text is Unicode (Unicode) encoded, enter a backslash with a lowercase Latin letter u ("\u") before each hexadecimal number.
