Windows 10: Emojis

When pressing a Windows Key + period, the emojis menu comes up. I search “flag” and only one flag comes up. I cannot find the American Flag emoji. Am I not looking in the correct place?

How to change Windows 11 default emojis?

Windows 11 emojis are stored as a system font file named "Segoe UI Emoji" in the Windows Fonts folder. To modify these emojis, you'll need to replace this font file with a new one. Here's how to do it:

1. The emoji font is located at: C:\Windows\Fonts\seguiemj.ttf
   
2. This file contains the Segoe UI Emoji font used by Windows
   

1. Press Win + R, type "regedit" and press Enter to open the Registry Editor
   
2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
   
3. Find and delete the "Segoe UI Emoji" entry
   

1. Download your preferred emoji font (must be a COLR/CPAL-based OpenType font)
   
2. Rename the new font file to "Segoe UI Emoji" using a tool like Typograf
   
3. Right-click the renamed font file, choose "Show more options" > "Install for all users"
   
4. Restart your computer to apply the changes
   

You can also use the Windows 10 emoji set in Windows 11:

1. Download the Windows 10 emoji font from a trusted source
   
2. Follow steps 1-3 from the "Changing the Emoji Font" section
   
3. Install the Windows 10 emoji font file for all users
   

• Press Win + . (period) or Win + ; (semicolon) to open the emoji panel
  
• Use this panel to insert emojis in supported applications
  

• Some applications may not support all types of emojis
  
• Changing system files can potentially cause issues, so proceed with caution
  
• Always backup important data before making system changes
  

By following these steps, you can successfully update, add to, or change the emojis on your Windows 11 system.
