Emoji’s are a language in itself. Want to celebrate something, falling short of words? Use 🎉 instead! These unicode characters are so common that they have become a use case on their own.
Slack’s own guide to using emoji
Most commonly used emojis within Slack’s own team are referred to as “Reacji”. The team at Slack actually reported that they had a dip in the number of messages as they started adopting more emojis. Here are some of the most popular emojis that Slack’s own team uses
Just by looking at these emojis you can figure out their culture. Amazing, isn’t it?
:raised hands:, :thumbsup:, :dart:, etc reflects their culture really well.
So, with this guide we prepared a Slack emoji cheat sheet with a list of 500+ Slack emojis and short codes that you can use.
Also, if you want to make your Slack workspace a bit more smart, consider signing up for Holopod. Our automated Slack status and your calendar management tools are worth checking out for any remote team!
We have organized these emojis by using the same categories they appear in your Slack workspace to make it easy to use them.
