Insert Emojis in Adobe Illustrator

[#1]

While it's incredibly easy to insert Emojis in all Mac OS apps it's incredibly difficult to do so in Adobe Illustrator  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i think you're going to have to explain what you're trying to do in a bit more detail.

  <----- I'm trying to type an emoji ---->

illustrator doesn't support those sort of fonts as far as i know.

[#6]

Yup that's what I thought...

Sketch App supports emojis so I'll export from there

You should be able to use emoji in Illustrator now. I just type "emoji" in the character field and get something like this. Don't know if it is the same in Windows.

I was searching for emojis too. I'm on windows 10. Thanks for telling about this font! Yours should be marked as the solution now.

Or one could just design desirred emojis... or create new ones.  Even customize them specifically for your project.

While I love this feature, it would be extremely useful to be able to search emojis by name. The collection is quite large 🙂

Hi,

You can raise the feature request on the Illustrator forum of bugs and feature request.

Here is the link for the forum.

Has anyone actually tried typing with that emoji font? As soon as I type, it defaults to sans serif font.

[#14]

The emoji font's characters are mapped differently to a regular font, so if you type an 'a' for instance, that doesn't have an equivalent in the emoji font. Illustrator's response seems to be to revert to the default paragraph style.

You need to create a new text object, delete everything in it, then apply the Emoji font and then use the Glyphs panel for typing.
