Emojis in your terminal! :+1:

Emojis for your shell! 👍

This is a goofy little hack that reads a list of emoji's from OSX's special characters panel (Edit -> Special Characters [opt+cmd+space] to open).

Inside the CharacterPalette.app there is a sqlite database that has a ton of characters. I'm pulling a specific range which seems to have a large chunk of emojis. This is then spit out into an export format that your shell can then source.

Disclaimer: You will probably never need this.

Usage

1. Clone this repo somewhere
2. Link the emoji.sh somewhere: ln -s emoji.sh $HOME
3. In your ~/.bashrc add the following: source $HOME/emoji.sh
4. Make sure your terminal app can handle UTF-8 and all that jazz

You can then source ~/.bashrc and now you're ready to rock!

To use an emoji in the terminal, simply echo it out: echo $EMOJI_BEER_MUG w00t!
