You can totally use emojis as passwords. You can probably even make this a policy at your company.

Edit: I thought this was an obvious enough joke, but just to clear things up: Only do this if you hate your company and everyone working there.

    You can add emojis to your wifi SSID. I do not recommend it for compatibility reasons, though. Your printer might not like it.

      In my experience, several devices don’t display the emoji as a correct icon (instead show the rectangle “tofu”), but they still work with it.

      Source: am using an emoji with some normal characters on SSID

        That’s good! That’s best case scenario, honestly. With how awful printers are, I wouldn’t be surprised if some just crashed.

      That’ll make setting up your wifi from the command line all kinds of fun.
      Even my SSID with , and : in it stumps the Debian installer.

          just plug the printer into your router or something like raspberry pi (or a pc that’s running constantly) with a usb cable if you need that

        Internet access? Never. LAN access though is a different story altogether…

        It is very useful for your printer to have LAN access so you can print jobs wirelessly from your laptop.

        But printer was just an example of a low-tech device. It could have easily been your Nintendo 3DS that might implode if your SSID had an emoji in it.
