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

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!

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,

😢. That last is an emoji.
But they do paste into Wordpad...

2018-02-21T14:47:17+00:00 Found you can fix this on 1709 by adding a Registry entry:
REGEDIT
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Input\Settings
New DWORD (32-Bit): EnableExpressiveInputShellHotkey
Value: 1
Then reboot. It's also fixed in the insider build.
