The next Windows 10 update to be released in Spring 2019 will include support for kaomoji, the latest emoji fad, based entirely on regular text.
Kaomoji have risen in popularity, and perhaps one of the most well-known examples is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, which is regularly used on social networks. Microsoft knowing that kaomoji have become a fad decided Windows 10 to provide easy access to the most common characters.
So, the latest version of Windows 10 19H1 build 18305, comes with support for this feature, bringing the most popular kaomoji to the emoji UI, the OS system.
Users who are registered to the Windows Insider's fast ring can test it if after installing Windows 10 19H1 build 18305, then press the Win + Greek question mark or the Win + right arrow keys at the same time.
Additionally, emojis come with a dedicated button for symbols, with sections like punctuation, currency, language symbols, geometric, Latin, and math. All are available on the same screen and can easily be entered into a field conversationor text with a single click or tapping on them.
Windows 10 19H1 is expected to be finalized in March, and all co-workers of all rings will have to receive the RTM build before the end of the month.
