@Bastien_Siebman, you were a day ahead of the curve. Seems like there should be prize for finding it before it was announced. > [@Emojis everywhere! tada](https://forum.asana.com/t/emojis-everywhere/22760): > > Surprise everyone; you can now find Emojiā€™s everywhere in Asana! We heard your feedback and weā€™re happy to announce that, as of a few days ago, you can now use emojis in task & project names in Asana, as well as custom fields! This makes it easy for Teams to distinguish between similar projects (1:1 meeting Projects, for example) with an emoji. Give your task name some heart or even add your favorite emoji as a custom field. [Asanaā€™s expanded formatting options](https://blog.asana.com/2018/05/asana-text-formatting-emojis/) mean you can now cut and pasteā€¦ ---

You pretty much have to copy them from a task description or comment. Vince posted it just above, but there are instructions here: > [@Emojis everywhere! tada](https://forum.asana.com/t/emojis-everywhere/22760): > > Surprise everyone; you can now find Emojiā€™s everywhere in Asana!

If youā€™re using a mac, you can also use the following shortcut ā€œCtrl + Cmd + Space barā€, it will automatically open the emoji panel. Note that this works in Asana, but pretty much everywhere else šŸ™‚ ---

You guys are hilariousā€¦ can you teach me how to add to the emoji bank so that my team can easily assign a previously decided upon emoji to our tasks? ---

@Emily_McMullen, You can just copy/paste any one of them from this post (or the others in the thread), or copy to an Asana task for reference/use/copying from there: > [@The best emojis for business and work in general](https://forum.asana.com/t/the-best-emojis-for-business-and-work-in-general/69408/2): > > Great post, @Bastien_Siebman! Here are some additions: Progress: Get creative with the use of just these two emoji: black_large_square white_large_square : [image] Multi-purpose sets: Some commonly-used groupings: [image] Status - Comprehensive: Emoji help convey the meanings of this single custom field that combines both status and progress: [image] The first two values (Deferred, Not Started) are for before the task/project begins. The last two values (Achieved, Failed) are for ā€¦ Larry ---
