    Tap the smiley face icon at the bottom of the on-screen keyboard. If you're using your Chromebook in tablet-mode, the on-screen keyboard opens instantly once you flip the screen over its hinge.[1] Tapping the smiley face opens the emoji keyboard—just tap any emoji to insert it.
    • If the keyboard doesn't open, just tap any typing area to launch it.
    • If you want to use the on-screen keyboard without tablet mode, you can enable it in your accessibility settings. Here's how:
      • Click the time at the bottom-right and select Settings.
      • Click Advanced.
      • Click Manage accessibility features.
      • Select Enable on-screen keyboard.
