This is one of the silly small features of macOS that I really miss on Windows and Linux. Glad that the author had the same problem but did something about it :

- hirsin 9y agoThe emoji keyboard on Windows is one of my favorite improvements. Windows key + : (semicolon) or win +.(period) then start typing the name of the emoji you want. I initially dismissed it as a gimmick but now use it often when writing emails (colored check? Behind schedule? ) Of course, adding the emojis to this post doesn't work as HN strips them.
- jackvalentine 9y agoSadly limited to US English - other English inputs don’t have it.
- ulucs 9y agoMy keyboard is set to Turkish Q and I can confirm Win+. opens up the emoji panel, maybe the key combination is somewhat different? I don't think they would add it to other languages but skip other English'es
- jackvalentine 9y agoI might have misled you with my initial post - it's not the keyboard or IME that it's restricted to, it's the display language. en_US only, not en_AU, en_UK etc.
- Kipters 9y agoThere's a registry key you can change to enable it in other locales, I can't remember it nor find it again though.
