I just love the Emojis keyboard. My phone has that feature. I use it every day.

Wonderful. I’ll never get my wife away from the laptop now.
Talk about timing! I reset Windows 10 the other day and am busy putting back the tools I always use. Last night I was writing a Tweet and couldn’t find the Emoji Keyboard, and suddenly, your timely article swooped into my mailbox. Thanks for the great service!
