Duck 🦆 emoji in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook

Add the Duck 🦆 emoji into Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Outlook.  Both in Office for Windows and Office for Mac.

Duck 🦆 emoji represents the quacky bird with webbed feet. The emoji is usually depicted as a Mallard. Sometimes used as a substitute for the f-word, because of iPhone’s tendency to autocorrect to the obvious rhyme 😊.

The Windows 10 Emoji Panel has the Duck Emoji.  Use Win + . (period/fullstop) to open the panel.
