Emoji ? (Q Mac)

Question

Does anyone know if you can "add an emoji" to the list of emojis that come with Quicken for Mac?

I experimented on my own.  The emoji can be a character in a word string...or a separate one emoji "word".

And putting the actual emoji in the search box will find a transaction containing that emoji ANYWHERE, as a character as part of a string or a separate emoji by itself.

Interesting.  Not that I would ever use it...but I can see some users needing to add yet another layer to sort...and this may accomplish it.

Hello @garysmith87,

The emojis can be searched using the search bar located at the top, once selected from the Edit menu. After testing it myself, I found that you will generally need to put spaces between words (thumbs down, instead of thumbsdown). Also, you do have the ability to add emojis to payee names, categories, etc.

Hope this helps. Let us know of any other questions!

OK...thanks for that.

Are the emojis "searchable" characters?  Say I use the thumbs down emoji to make sure I follow up on a transaction, can I search using the thumbs down in the search column?  Does the thumbs down have to be a separate "word" (so to speak)...or can it be part of the string of characters (like in the payee name)?
