+# Use The Built-In Emoji Picker
+
+Kitty has a built-in emoji picker which you can use to search for and select an
+emoji character to be placed in your current terminal context. This is handy
+because Mac OSX's built-in emoji picker (Ctrl-Cmd-Space) doesn't work in Kitty.
+
+To open up Kitty's emoji picker, hit `Ctrl-Shift-u` (or prefix `u` with
+whatever your Kitty metakey is). You'll see a full screen menu with 4 different
+tabs. If you move to the _Emoji (F2)_ tab (`Ctrl-]` and `Ctrl-[` to navigate),
+you'll be able to search for an emoji based on its metadata name.
+
+For instance, if I type `check`, I'll see a bunch of unicode characters that
+match that term including `3  ✅ White heavy check mark`. By hitting tab until
+I reach that result, I can hit `Enter` to send that emoji to the terminal
+context.
