Hi all,

When I try to press Win+. or Win+; to open the emoji panel after I've installed the Fall Creators Update, it doesn't seem to work. This is using a Dell Precision 5520.

Many thanks!

    JJ. Glad to have contributed. But I hope no one notices it's pasting J's instead of smiley faces into here & into Notepad too.

    😢. That last is an emoji.

    But they do paste into Wordpad...

    Yes, though 2 different things, one can certainly always find a plethora of stuff via Character Map.

    Besides all the 'pictures' it's handy for basic things like Registered trademark or British pound et al.

    And, actually, it has heaps of things the E Panel does not.

    Cheers,

    Drew

    It isn't a perfect substitute, but see what you can get in the Character Map (ask Cortana for CharMap)...

    You're welcome.

    Things are often done like that, where they are not 'global' at first.

    Besides having this, there are a few rather cool, maybe even exciting things coming in the Spring Update; one can look forward to heaps of nice stuff.

    Your mobile? Oh geeez, ooops LOL, silly me just took it for granted all had that.

    I have a brand new mobile which I very much like**!** An Alcatel IDOL 4S w/ Windows 10

    It has an ellipsis.

    Cheers,

    Drew

    PS: I trust you marked what I had said as "Helpful" & thanks for that.

    Thanks Drew, that's really good to know.

    I realise in the grand scheme of things it's trivial but when a feature that could be so good just misses the mark because of a silly issue it's really frustrating.

    I have a similar issue (trivial but annoying) on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ where the default Samsung keyboard has no ellipsis character (…) which I use quite a lot, less so now that Twitter has increase the length of Tweets :D

    Yes I can download and switch to a third-party keyboard and back again (as I do) but such a simple thing to fix you'd think would eliminate the need for that.

    Anyway, looking forward to a (hopeful) Spring update. Thanks again.
