Emojis in JIRA Issue Summary

[Toni Takei]

At a previous company, our Product Owner often used to prefix issue summary (titles) with emojis to indicate Spike, or more work needed, etc. I would love to use this capability but I'm unable to find any information on it online.

Can someone please help?

Thanks!

Hi Toni,

I think this is a Chrome question rather than a Jira question.

If you right click in a field, then you can add emojis. The keyboard shortcut for Windows is Win + period.

As you can, Jira can handle it as it's a standard Unicode character.

That said, consider having a separate issue type for spikes. I've seen that work well at many clients.

you can also import your own emojis. you will need to be site administrator for this. 

to upload custom emojis go to site administration > site settings , you will find Emoji option. 

we are using jira cloud so am not sure if this one is there in jira server or not. 

secondly the win + period shortucut will only work if you have win 10 fall creators update as this is a feature provided by windows.

I imported my own "Custom Emojis" but am unable to figure out how and where to use them? I was trying to use them in a comment on a task, but my custom emojis do not show up in the list of emojis. Any ideas?

Where are you finding the ability to import custom emojis? I am the site admin for our Jira Cloud instance and I do not find this anywhere?

- found it, never mind
