importing emoji codes into jupyter notebooks

Question

Jupyter notebooks support markdown cells however it doesn't seem to support emoji codes. I suppose one way might be using html to import icons like fontawesome

Anyone have a workaround?

Edit: asked directly on the jupyter Github #2199

You can already use emojis in markdown - just copy and paste them in☺️. – Wobbly

Visit getemoji.com, copy any of the emoji of your choice and paste in MARKDOWN cell of Jupyter Notebook. It will work. – Thistledown

Looks like does not supports: :warn: etc. – Palstave

Answer 1

Install emoji package:

pip install emoji --upgrade

then :

import emoji
print(emoji.emojize('Hi there! :revolving_hearts:'))

output:

Hi there!  💞

Verisimilar

Note that this only works in code cells, not Markdown – Mcfarlane

Answer 2

If you want to use colored emojis in Markdown just copy the hexadecimal representation into the Markdown cell.

For instance, for 😀 (grinning face) use 😀
