Using emojis in Notion can add some fun and personality to your notes, tasks, and projects. Whether you're expressing an emotion in your text or adding some visual flair to a table, emojis can bring extra value. However, sometimes you might run into a few issues when inserting emojis. Don’t worry! This guide will help you easily tackle these problems and make the most of emojis in Notion.
Want to Add an Emoji to Decorate Your Text in Notion?
Quickly Insert Emojis When editing titles, text, bullet points, ordered lists, and more in Notion, the quickest way to insert an emoji is to type /emoji, then click to insert the emoji block. You can also use the built-in keyboard shortcuts to bring up the emoji picker:
- Windows: Press
Win + .(period key) - Mac: Press
Ctrl + Cmd + Spacebar
This will quickly allow you to add emojis to your text, making your content more dynamic.
What if /emoji Doesn’t Show the Emoji Block, Only Text?
Fixing the Issue When Emojis Don’t Show Up Sometimes, when you type /emoji, Notion doesn’t display the emoji block, and it just appears as plain text. If this happens, try adding a space between the cursor and the previous character. This will trigger the emoji picker. If you don’t want the extra space, feel free to delete it — the emoji will stay.
Adding Emojis in Tables
How to Add Emojis in Tables In Notion tables, using the /emoji command might not bring up the emoji block since table cells don’t support emoji blocks directly. However, you can still use the system’s built-in emoji picker:
- Windows: Press
Win + .(period key) - Mac: Press
Ctrl + Cmd + Spacebar
This way, you can insert emojis into any table cell, adding a little extra personality to your data.
