How to Make a Boombox in Gmail

Gmail provides over 100 emoticons to be sent in emails.

When using Gmail in its richest formatting mode, the email service provides more than 100 emoticons, small iconic expressions of everyday emotions and objects, which can be inserted into the body of your digital communications. To make a boombox, for example, begin drafting your email and click on the corresponding emoticon to insert the boombox directly into your email.

Instructions

1. Sign in to your Gmail account and click "Compose" to create a new email.

2. Insert into the "To" field your intended recipient and fill out the "Subject" with an appropriate heading.

3. Click the tab "Rich formatting." Click on the "Insert Emoticon" icon, represented by a smiley face. Locate the boombox image in the bottom row of options, a stereo system with music notes streaming from it. Click the icon and it will be inserted once into the text of the email. Click on it multiple times to insert multiple stereos into the email.

4. Click back on the "Insert Emoticon" icon to close the list of emoticons and return the email to its regular draft view. Finish drafting the email and click "Send."
