I just found out, while Skyping a colleague that the letter K, enclosed in parenthesis is the keyboard shortcut for the kissy-face emoji, but it doesn't convert until you hit send. Likely to be the case for Outlook as well.

I guess the shortcuts don't work here... just where they are more likely to cause an issue or embarrassment... like at work.

Years ago I used to have a job where I was on the phone all the time. I was thinking about a conversation with my wife as I was ending the call with a customer. Apparently that wasn't the time to be daydreaming. As "HE" was hanging up, I said "Okay, love you, bye." - I couldn't make another phone call for at least 10 minutes after that! LOL

LOL You are much nicer than me. I end all conversations with "What's for dinner?". Don't care if it is family or a customer. hehe

Nah, what would be worse would be if it went to HR My wife showed me all of the gifs and emojis available on her intra-office chat and it looked like HR’s worst nightmare. I have no idea how most of them would ever be appropriate in the workplace and why they would be included in corporate software. If nothing else, it may make HR’s job easier if they track those things. I hope your boss has a sense of humor!

The fact that they are now short-cutted is even scarier. Yes, she does.
