Please, please share with me how some Gransnetters get the different (i.e. non-GN) symbols that I see used in posts from time to time. There are tools and cakes and flowers and all sorts of very interesting things that I would like to incorporate in my own posts from time to time.

Like these: ????
My wish list includes a star that's rather more interesting than *.

If you include them into your responses I can maybe copy them to use in my future posts. grin

What do you use to post on gransnet, ga? On my tablet, phone and kindle fire, to the right of the space bar and full stop is a smiley face. When I tap on it, all the emojis are displayed. Here are a few,

If you use a PC, you can add emojis to your keyboard. I can' t remember how I did it. However, I'm back from holiday tonight, so I will check if you need to know..

My Ipad has lots of different emojis, from the smiley ones to animals, vehicles flags etc. I am using my ASUS this morning, and it doesn't have such a good variety, or I haven't found them yet .

Actually, on the ASUS, the emojis only seem to be available when I am writing an email, not here, answering GN posts !!

If you haven’t got a phone or tablet you can copy and paste emojis without an app.

My GS sends me WhatsApp messages with moving emojis - I must ask him how he does that!

Lots of emojis on iPads ??????

I have a Sony tablet and when I tap the bottom left hand button on the keyboard the key immediately next to it displays a smiley face. If I tap the smiley face lots of emojis appear ???????

Think the moving emojis are GIFs.

If this one works, I took quite a convoluted route to find it.

MiniMoon Wed 12-Sep-18 11:16:10

No, that's just a photo.

As you were.

NonnaW Wed 12-Sep-18 13:17:35

That’s odd, because I’m on my iPad and I don’t have the option of emojis.

Auntieflo Wed 12-Sep-18 13:30:15

NannaW look on your keypad, mine is on the bottom line, between the space bar and the ?123 key. I have tried to take a photo, see below, a little smiley face.

Hurray, I've just found them on my iMac - never occurred to me that you could get them on here, but a quick Google revealed I can, and how to do it! ? ????

grannyactivist Wed 12-Sep-18 15:58:18

I still can't get them on my laptop - but I'm 'watching' this thread so I can copy and paste the ones you've all included. Thanks lovely Gransnetters. You're all ?'s. smile
