We are all aware of emojis that describe the emotions of the users. You can add the different types of emojis in Microsoft Excel through the Icons button presented in the Illustrations group. These graphics, like Emojis, can be customized to make them more stunning and appealing.
Additionally, the Symbols feature allows you to add different categories of symbols, including currency, mathematical notation, delta, and degree symbols. This is especially useful for adding symbols that are unavailable on the keyboards. Depending on ASCII codes, you may also utilize the Char() function to add symbols.

- Excel for Microsoft 365
- Excel 2024
