Emoji has nothing to do with Gmail, except for the fact that Gmail now supports them. If your recipient's device or email reader does not support Emoji, then they will not see it. You also have to remember that the Emoji set will be different across platforms and devices. See http://emojipedia.org/ My guess is that once the Windows 10 update is released, much more of the Emoji will work for those who take it up. I can already see many more on my 8.1 machine than on 7. I'm also guessing that Google dropped the extra emoticons lab <http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-in-labs-extra-emoticons.html> in favour of Emoji as the latter is universal, whereas the former was simply inserting GIF images into emails. -- Marko -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
