When words are lacking, an emoji can help express our feelings and emotions in the right way. Apart from fun conversations, people have started using emojis in work contexts as well. After all, why not? You have every right to express yourself visually while working on your Mac. You can easily get an emoji keyboard on a Mac. With just a few taps, you have an emoji selector at your disposal. Without any problem, let's learn how to get emojis on Mac.

The first way to get emojis and symbols on Mac is to use the menu bar. We all know that the menu bar on Mac contains actions for the Finder along with the currently opened app. You can use this to access the emoji keyboard on your MacBook. Here's how to do it:

You can use the icons at the bottom to browse through different categories such as Animals & Nature, Food & Drink, Activity and more. By default, you only see emojis. That said, you can actually do a lot more. Click on the keyboard icon in the upper right corner and this will expand the window to show the character view. Here you will see a plethora of additional options such as arrows, currency symbols, math symbols and more.

If you love keyboard shortcuts and can easily memorize them, stick this new command in your mind – Command + Control + Spacebar. This is the keyboard shortcut to get emojis and symbols on a Mac. It will immediately display the Character Viewer on the screen.
