But Windows 11/10 will now let you include an Emoji in the name of a drive, file, and folder via Emoji Panel. You can choose to add emoji to a file/folder in Windows 11/10 by following these steps:
You can use a combination of letters, numbers, and emoji. When done, simply press Enter to save the new name. You can thus easily create a file or folder name with one or more emojis or even a mixed name. You will also see the emojis in the Explorer address bar.
