Google Calendar Event Flair Solution

With the new update of the google calendar, event flairs gadget that were a side gadget have been deprecated. ☹

A quick solution I discovered is that my MS Windows 10 has a virtual keyboard with emoji built in.

I pull up this keyboard and just ad the emoji in Event Title box, that fits my need.

For now, this works perfectly.

Hope this helps others!
