Automatic emojis are thoroughly aggravating and totally stupid. I write technical material not flippant drivel.
When I'm referring to the D drive, similar to another post above, it turns a D and a : into a stupid emoji. The suggestions above show how ridiculous the workarounds are. By trial and error and wasting time I found that if I type the colon followed by a space, then move the cursor back and type the D in front of colon, I can get 😧 instead of 😧 .
Just don't ask me how I really feel about not having an option to turn off all emojis. If you can read my mind, just ban me from
