Does Anyone Know where I can get The Below Emoji so I can Copy and Past it in my Smartsheet Dropdown List?

Thanks

Hi @Kaleb

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible to get those as Emojis, as far as I know.

Have a look here and see if you can find something else that you could use.

@Andrée Starå, thank you for the information above - it is extremely helpful.

One question, how do I remove the gray background that appears around the symbol / emoji when I either copy-paste from the emoji site or use the CHAR function? Specifically, this shows up when I add the symbol to a drop down list.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi @Mellow

I hope you're well and safe!

I'm glad to hear that it was helpful still!

Can you share a screenshot of what you see?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Thanks for the speedy reply @Andrée Starå! Also, please let me know if I shouldn't @ you!

When I create the symbol using UNICHAR in a cell or I copy from the emoji site you shared it it displays the symbol without the background. When I copy-paste that symbol into the values field of the drop down column it appears. Thank you!!

@Mellow

Happy to help!

Are both columns multi-select?

Thank you!

The left column is a multi-select drop down. The right column is free text with the UNICHAR formula typed in.
