Notion
Page icons, callouts, /slash commands
Notion uses Unicode emoji as page icons, inline emoji in text, and emoji on database properties. Inline shortcodes via `/`-commands; emoji picker via `:`-trigger. Below is the curated set used most in callouts and page covers.
How to use: Type `:` followed by a keyword (e.g. `:tada`) → Notion auto-suggests. Use `/icon` to add a page icon. Callouts default to 💡 but you can pick any emoji.
