Hi there! Has anyone had luck adding emojis? I’m looking to show a thumbs up or thumbs down emoji, depending on the situation. Using the image component makes it too big (and if I size the emoji down it just blows it back up). And rich text doesn’t allow me to set the right conditions. ---

Hi there Siva, I have not used an Emoji column in Glide, but there that’s option under the basic columns. Can you please check that and then set an according If \> Then \> Else to see if it works? ---

Thanks for the suggestion – I tried that but it doesn’t seem to help with displaying the emoji. Tried text and image components. ---

Emoji is just text and works in any text component. What are you trying to do that you can’t with text right now? ---

Use WINDOWS button + . (Point) and you get the emoji option as text ---

These are two custom emojis (in image files) that I’d like to display inline with text. ---

I found a solution – the issue is that google sheets doesn’t have special characters but I found that if you type out the character in google doc and then cut/paste to sheets, it accepts / displays it … and then of course shows up nicely inline with text in the app. See in the screenshot below. Thanks everyone for your suggestions. ![Screen Shot 2020-05-23 at 3.41.56 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/9/90fe61eff10b88c5920609647dcded1c6e1fdae9.png) ---

There is actually a much easier way to do this than the whole copy paste scenario. Double click on the Google Sheets cell you want the emoji in so there is a cursor showing, then hit Control + Command + Space to pull up the emoji selections, then choose your emoji. Hope this helps! ---

I use this quite a bit and you can simply copy and paste the emoji. [emojipedia.org](http://emojipedia.org) ---
