Best Practices

  • Be consistent - If you use emojis, use them throughout the form
  • Don't overdo it - One emoji per label is usually enough
  • Position consistently - Usually at the start of text
  • Test cross-platform - Emojis may look different on various devices
  • Consider accessibility - Emojis should enhance, not replace text
