Let’s face it: Emoji are here to stay. But hey, they’re awesome, right?

Whenever I Tweet, text someone or do Facebook status updates and comments, I try to use as many Emoji as possible or even better: use just Emoji.

However, this usually means I am using my smartphone or tablet, because on my Desktop PC ….
I cannot use Emoji ...
…or can I?
You bet I can …

… and here is how:

1. Make sure the Windows software keyboard button is active.
   If it’s not, right click the Windows taskbar and activate it.
   
   There it is now. Just click on the symbol:
   

2. The software keyboard shows up:
   
   Click the Smiley symbol to change to Emoji Mode.

3. There you are.
   
   Now go crazy

But wait! I cannot find the “xyz” Emoji!!

So, if you need a certain Emoji that is not present on this keyboard, here’s a neat workaround:

1. Browse to the website http://getemoji.com/
2. Locate the Emoji you want. Copy it.
3. Paste it. Done!
