## When to use | ||
|
||
**If you're using emojis, they should ideally meet all the following criteria:** | ||
|
||
- Used as an enhancement (but not in place of words) | ||
- Used sparingly | ||
- Used when the overall tone of the experience is light | ||
|
||
<Box css={{ position: "relative", paddingLeft: "$200" }}> | ||
<Box | ||
role="list" | ||
css={{ | ||
"&::before": { | ||
content: '"○"', | ||
position: "absolute", | ||
left: "$100", | ||
fontSize: "$100", | ||
color: "$gray20", | ||
}, | ||
}} | ||
> | ||
<Box role="listItem"> | ||
Emojis chosen should also be light in tone (i.e. confetti is OK; | ||
tombstones for a Halloween email, not so much) | ||
</Box> | ||
</Box> | ||
</Box> | ||
|
||
- Used when there's no chance of the emojis appearing juxtaposed with grim, serious articles | ||
|
||
<Box css={{ position: "relative", paddingLeft: "$200" }}> | ||
<Box | ||
role="list" | ||
css={{ | ||
|
||
"&::before": { | ||
content: '"○"', | ||
position: "absolute", | ||
left: "$100", | ||
fontSize: "$100", | ||
color: "$gray20", | ||
}, | ||
}} | ||
|
||
> | ||
|
||
<Box role="listItem"> | ||
For example, Microsoft doesn't have flag emojis. Check to make sure your | ||
emojis convey what you're intending. | ||
</Box> | ||
|
||
</Box> | ||
</Box> | ||

|
||
## How to use | ||
|
||
**If you use emojis:** | ||
|
||
- Use widely recognized emojis that translate well across devices. | ||
|
||
<Box css={{ position: "relative", paddingLeft: "$200" }}> | ||
<Box | ||
role="list" | ||
css={{ | ||
"&::before": { | ||
content: '"○"', | ||
position: "absolute", | ||
left: "$100", | ||
fontSize: "$100", | ||
color: "$gray20", | ||
}, | ||
}} | ||
> | ||
<Box role="listItem"> | ||
For example, Microsoft doesn't have flag emojis. Check to make sure your | ||
emojis convey what you're intending. | ||
</Box> | ||
</Box> | ||
</Box> | ||
|
||
- Make sure the emoji has enough contrast for both light and dark modes. | ||
- Place them at the beginning or end of sentences, not in the middle. | ||
- Use within text (as opposed to an image or any other format). | ||
|
||
<Box css={{ position: "relative", paddingLeft: "$200" }}> | ||
<Box | ||
role="list" | ||
css={{ | ||
"&::before": { | ||
content: '"○"', | ||
position: "absolute", | ||
left: "$100", | ||
fontSize: "$100", | ||
color: "$gray20", | ||
}, | ||
}} | ||
> | ||
<Box role="listItem">This is required by Apple's guidelines.</Box> | ||
</Box> | ||
</Box> | ||
|
||
- Make sure related copy stands on its own — emojis should be able to be deleted without affecting the meaning. | ||
|
||

|
||
## When to avoid | ||
|
||
**Avoid using emojis:** | ||
|
||
- To represent our core product offerings. | ||
|
||
<Box css={{ position: "relative", paddingLeft: "$200" }}> | ||
<Box | ||
role="list" | ||
css={{ | ||
"&::before": { | ||
content: '"○"', | ||
position: "absolute", | ||
left: "$100", | ||
fontSize: "$100", | ||
color: "$gray20", | ||
}, | ||
}} | ||
> | ||
<Box role="listItem"> | ||
If we need art to represent core product offerings, we should evaluate if | ||
the use case warrants creating custom art. | ||
</Box> | ||
</Box> | ||
</Box> | ||
|
||
- If there's any chance of the emojis appearing juxtaposed with grim, serious stories. |
