How to add a emoji/Icon to a page title
Asked by Jozias Machado:

How do I do to add an icon/emoji to confluence page title? I see this on Confluence's official website but can't get to do that in my instance.

Hope you might give it a try! Thank you

While I am on the server edition (which isn't quite up to cloud for UI), one big don't do it thing I note with people is *don't put special characters in page titles.* I have had to go fix that for people a lot of the time.

That aside, I *think* what you are looking at there is a listing of *Spaces* and not pages. As such, it will be displaying the default icon set up for that Space. You can find that under the Configure Sidebar selection of Space Detailes (lower left of the window). Click on the default icon and you can load what you like there.

We even use them on our help site, which is made up of several spaces: <https://help.k15t.com/>

I'm using Confluence Cloud and I wasn't able to recreate the above page sidebar with Spaces. I am sure they are pages with emojis in the titles. I was about to write a help article on the same thing before I saw this. The above screenshot is from an advertisement video on the official Confluence website:

Thanks.

I just saw that video as well! I agree, I think they're just using emoji in the page title.

While it looks great in the video, I'm not sure how that will affect the pages. The URLs will just be IDs, because you're using a special character. This may of my not be a bad thing.

It's hard to tell if it will affect search results, according to [how search is said to work](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-do-i-understand-the-ranking-of-confluence-s-search-results-785614686.html). Buy since these are high level pages, it may not matter as much.

Maybe there are deeper issues I don't know about though. [@Mike Rathwell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853367) has experience there.

As I don't see the answer yet, here it is FYI:

- Select Edit

- Select the page title, putting the cursor where you want the image (such as the beginning of the title)

- At the same time, select the Windows button and either the period or semi-colon character. It should pop up with a list of images to select.
