Earlier this week I shared that I had stumbled into adding emoticons/ emojis to my lists in Google Keep. A couple of people have asked how I did this.

In the video embedded below I give a quick demonstration of how to use emoticons in Google Keep lists.

Using emojis in your shared lists in Google Keep could be a nice way to add some character and fun to your task lists and reminders. Whether you’re sharing lists and reminders with students or with colleagues, everyone likes a little fun element mixed into an otherwise boring list.
