Clicking on an emoji will post your reaction and, just like a regular comment, will highlight the text you selected so other users will know what the emoji is connected to.

You can also second somebody else’s reaction by double-clicking the emoji they added, which will add a number to the count on the right.
Unfortunately, this new feature won’t allow you to easily react with emojis to written comments in a Google Doc.

Google Docs will read it and display it properly so your colleagues know when you think something in the document is 🔥 or 💩.
