Do you L❤VE emoji for getting your messages across and having them stand out in email and social media? Fantastic, because Hail's now packing over 2000 emojis to help spice up your comms!🌶

Emoji originated in Japan and have quickly spread from mobile apps to become adopted on more platforms and now desktop computers.

Proud to always be at the forefront of web technology, we've added a full emoji library to Hail. It works across all Hail layouts, including Homepages, Publications, Articles and every channel they can be shared to and every device they're viewed on. 📱💻🖥

No easy task 😰 but well worth it 🤩

It wasn't easy getting emoji to display beautifully on old PC systems that were built before the invention of the 'LOL'. But you can be confident that all Hail content published with emoji will be displayed just as you intended, everywhere. Even if printed! 😎
