I use emoticons all the time. Bud, I have set up keyboard shortcuts, so I can quickly insert them. When you are in the keyboard shortcut phrase edit field, open the Emoji keyboard and select the image you want, now go to the shortcut field and insert a two letter shortcut that you will remember. I usually use two letters the same such as a upper case s and a lower case s to represent the smiley I use. Then all I have to do is type those two letters and hit the space bar... Like this, 😎
