Terminal Emojis 🕷

Bash script that prints emojis in a terminal.

Overview 🐙

  • Make sure you have installed the proper fonts like e.g: Symbola, DingBats, FreeFont etc. or otherwise the emoji's cannot be printed on the terminal 👀.

  • You can see the entire list of emojis in the 'Unicode characters specification' 👁.

  • Print a single emoji on the terminal like this:

> echo -e '\U1F604'
😄

  • Unicode characters and thus emojis are usually given in hexadecimal numbers.
    In order to loop over a range of hexadecimal numbers in the shell you can convert the hexadecimal numbers into decimal ones, loop over those and format them into a hexadecimal string like this:

> for i in {9312..9316};
do hex=$(printf "%02X" ${i});
echo -e "U+${hex}";
done

  • The output of the script can be seen here. If your browser cannot render it you can open it in a terminal 😉.

  • Some fonts are hard to come by.
    Did you know that you can extract fonts embedded in a pdf file?
    See here for more detailed information. Just telling in case you should need it 😋.
