I learned something dumb the other day, and it’s about Windows. The only place I can think to share this information is here, with you.
It’s not news that I’m a big fan of keyboard shortcuts. This is especially true while working in Outlook, where I spend much of my day, but any useful key combination that increases efficiency becomes part of my muscle memory.

Apparently, the WIN+(Period) keys have always triggered an Emoji keyboard, but now there’s a special section for Kaomoji. WTF is a Kaomoji? It roughly translates to “characters that make faces.” You might be familiar with the Shruggie: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
