You want Technical Symbols, although when I was there I turned on Windows Dingbats for sentimental reasons. So after you click on that tiny symbol on the upper left, there is another nearly invisible gear icon on the upper right (it is greyed and very small, click on it and a huge number of additional lists are opened up. So for instance to display the Command key in MacOS and then you have to enable Technical Symbols to see them (whew!). Note that this will get you the Character Viewer and then you hit expand on the upper right which turns it from an Emoji viewer to a complete character set viewer. The way you can set all this with the Keyboard System Preferences which lets you enable it with System Preferences.

Well to enter things into Vi, you need a font (as discussed that displays then) and then an easier way then opening up the Emoji Viewer and use the shortcut Ctrl-Command-Space or with all the emoji power (which includes the strange Mac characters for Option and Command). On a Mac, you turn on Emoji Viewer and then scroll up to reveal the Search box and type these in.
Then it should automatically translate into the equivalent Emojis. Instead, there’s a simple GitHub Short codes so the idea is that if you enter :boom: :heart: :smile:
Of course as a programming it is pretty inconvenient to have representations like this because you have to either know the Unicode number to enter something or you have to enter the Emoji data entry mode. Entering Emojis, the Gitmoji and the real Emoji The good news is that most modern fonts support this so for instance the FiraCode Nerd Font Mono that I use with iTerm2 works perfectly as does this default Mac font, San Francisco. Now of course, we have a new set of characters call Emojis and the solution is to give them their own Unicode points, so now I can say thank you in Emoji too! 🙏🏻 And I can even change the color of the hands because they are new Unicode as well (which is appropriate on MLK day!) 🙏🏿. So for instance, if your browser is UTF-8, you can see me say “Thank You” in English and Chinese 谢谢 without any problems. That’s a long way of saying that you definitely want to use UTF-8 in your website and every thing.
Having a font that displays all Unicode characters Pretty clever as long as you have a fast computer.
The trick is to use variable encoding called UTF-8 so that characters that are frequently used only need 1 byte.

Before Unicode, you had to know the Code page and the encoding (think of it like segmented memory), but with Unicode, you could just have one character set that was of course huge. I can remember distinctly, someone, was it Brian, I’ve forgotten his name, barging into my office explaining how important it was to move from Code Pages where Windows would switch from one character set to another to just have a 32-bit Unicode number and no switching. Unicode is a huge character set that is designed to include basically every character every invented by people. OK so this is a Monday question, for a long time I’ve just wanted Emoji’s inside Vim, so what are the considerations to make this work: Why you want everything in UTF-8įirst of all just to demystify, an emoji to a computer is just another Unicode character.
