emoji keyboard

Digital smiley picker

An emoji keyboard is a software interface for selecting and inserting emoji into text.

On smartphones, it's typically accessed by tapping a smiley face icon on the standard keyboard, revealing a grid of pictographs organized by category—faces, animals, food, symbols.

Desktop systems offer similar panels: I can't find the shrug emoji on my emoji keyboard.
