Emoji

🚀 Rocket is an excellent free Mac app that makes emoji input easy. It's possible to insert emoji natively on macOS but it's kind of a pain:

• Cmd + Ctrl + Space
• Search for the emoji
• Tab to it and press Enter or click it

With the 🚀 Rocket app, just:

• type :rock and press Enter

LOL -- it does make vim annoying to use.

Can I use emoji there?

• JQplay (and jq)
  • YES!

    jq ➡️play is a playground for jq 1.6 jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor.

Given this JSON:

{
  "🌻": [
    {
      "🪐": [
        {
          "🌻": "🌈"
        }
      ],
      "🌞": [
        {
          "🌻": "🌈"
        }
      ],
      "👩‍✈️": [
        {
          "🌻": "🌈"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

I can use a command like jq '."🌻"[0] | .["🪐"]' for this result:

[
  {
    "🌻": "🌈"
  }
]

🚀 Give it a go!

Others have written about it:

• Mermaid

  • YES.

Mermaid is a JavaScript-based diagramming and charting tool that uses Markdown-inspired text definitions and a renderer to create and modify complex diagrams.

Mermaid is amazing and supports emoji. It's particular, though.

The fix that is 💖 loved doesn't work in the version of the editor available at mermaid.live -- four years later. But this approach from 2019 works at mermaid.live and in GitLab Flavored Markdown. :

graph TD
A["🦄"]---B["🌞"]
A-->C("🥰")
B-->D
C-->D("🐱")
D-->E{"🌈"}

Here's how that gets rendered:
