Microsoft tweeted an image of Clippy with the request that if the image received more than 20,000 likes, the mascot be reinstated as an emoji in Microsoft 365. This goal was met in less than an hour after the tweet was sent. It was a feature of Microsoft Office 1997, and it would frequently appear to the side of your screen when you were working on a document or spreadsheet, providing advice even when you didn't need it.
