Welcome Wednesday: Happy World Emoji Day!

[#1]

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Today is officially World Emoji Day! Given many Atlassian products feature emoji support, my question for you this week is:

What are your top three favorite emojis to use?

It doesn’t have to be specifically within the Atlassian products, if (like me) you make more use of a number of custom emojis in slack or any other messaging app I’d love to know what those are too!

For myself, it’s going to be:

#1 Waving Pikachu - I use this to say good morning every day!

#2 Thumbs up - This is my standard acknowledgement

👍

#3 Keanu Thank You - This is one that I will add if there isn’t some thank you emoji already available.

Alright! Show me what you’ve got in the comment below.

Have a great rest of the week everyone!

It will come as no surprise to those who know me well, that I can't live without emojis....

Literally one of my DMs this morning:

[Barbara Szczesniak]

Favorites to use:

• 🎉 to celebrate good work or an exciting event in a colleague's life
• 👍 also as the standard acknowledgement
• there used to be a dancing turkey one I used all the time for general goofiness 

One I use most often, unfortunately: head banging against the wall

My absolute favorites: 🫠 🤦‍♀️ 🙄 (definitely an entire personality here, haha).

But as a grumpy cat adorer, I have my emoji stack that I upload to every Slack I inhabit 🥹

🎉 - let's celebrate success

🤦🏼‍♀️ - DUH!

Love using emojis!

Great emojis, everyone! How do you enter them in these community pages? (I tried :colons:, doesn't show)

[Barbara Szczesniak]

@Susan Waldrip On Windows, I press the win and period (.) keys on my keyboard to bring up the feature. 😀

[Amanda Barber]

and 🎉 are 2 favorites!

We actually have a section in our "User Manuals" that explain what different emojis mean for us to help clarify any misconceptions. 🤔

[Casey Gould]

We have a custom emoji that's a spinning disco ball in our company slack that's fun! 🪩
