Scratch allows you to be creative in any way you want, whether it’s with your character, the character movements, the backdrop, the media you use in the project, and so on. 

But did you know that you can use Emojis in your Scratch projects as well?

Yes, you read it right! In this blog, I will tell you all about how to use emojis in your Scratch projects.

Imagine how creative and interesting your project would look with the use of interesting emojis.

What are Emojis?

Well for our understanding emojis can be defined as a pictorial view of your emotions that you cannot express with words in any textual conversation. 

Rather than writing down your emotions, emojis allow you to express them by giving others who see the emoji a sense of your feelings or emotional state at the time.

Nowadays who does not use emojis right?. 

Emojis have become a very important technical way of expression that we all are familiar with. 

So, why not try and bring this idea into our scratch projects and make a really good project out of it.
