I did know about some of the letters with accents, but not the fractions.

ExDancer if you have a tablet, try holding down a letter and see what appears above it.

I've just tried it and found all kinds of exciting symbols, letters, fractions etc!

Thanks Riverwalk, that's amazing!

When the keyboard is on the screen there is no sign of the Windows button, and when the keyboard is NOT onscreen there's no full stop, with my tablet. sad

I didn't know that Riverwalk I use a PC most of the time but my phone gives me lots of emojis when I use that.

Riverwalk It seems almost unbelievable that once one could request an emoji from GN and get one added.

Fings ain't wot they used to be!
sad

If you hold down the Windows icon button and then press the full stop a load of icons will come up.

I'm using a pc, so can only see the GN ones. Not sure how to add any others except using punctuation as ExDancer said.

moonMoon. = Goodnight
shamrock was for St Patrick’s Day ( or good luck)
brew and cafe The cups are to indicate a cuppa(tea) or a coffee.
You can always use “regular” emojis ie non- specific to GN for a huge range of other opinions or emotions

The roast chicken emoji was added years ago - Jings flowers requested a symbol to indicate that she'd gone off to make the dinner and would be back later!

On G'sN its easy to send a smile smile using : and ), or a sad face sad with : and (
I don't know any others using punctuation marks but they're out there somewhere).

I think that Humpty is just talking about the GN emojis, which are somewhat limited to say the least.

I think that the roast chicken was added as it’s a bit of an in-joke on Mumsnet.

Mumsnet have also got the biscuit emoji (looks like a jammy dodger) which was introduced in response to a disastrous Q&A thing with Gordon Brown.
It means either ‘no comment’ or ‘eff off’.

shamrock is a bit of an odd one

I see what you sentmollygo

?? and here is a ?‍♀️ to cheer you all up

I think jing had something to do with the introduction of the roast chicken ?

RIP jing

Does it depend on your device for which emojis you can send and which ones you can see? My iPhone shows over 100, all neatly sorted into groups like food, animals, expressions, flags and more. I don’t know how many would show if you weren’t reading it on an Apple device.
I’ll try sending ??Flag, ? women’s toilets,
❤️‍?Heart on fire, ?unicorn, ?crying cat, and ?gold medal. What do other posters see?

I like the roastchicken emoji; just sayingblush.

Just trying to reply to a poster, ending with an emoji, but the list is very short and contains some odd items (moon/cafe/shamrock/roast chicken anybody?) while omitting far more useful ones (thumbs up/agree, for example).

Are there more emojis somewhere? If not, what would you like?
