A while back I [posted](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/mvlid5/native_emojis_in_emacs_just_some_pure_fun/) about how we can display emojis in Emacs. This is an updated post that includes using the emacs-emojify package. Hope you enjoy it!

AFAIK, color emoji display is not available in the native Windows build of Emacs, because the Windows Emacs display cannot ATM support color fonts. You need a GNU/Linux build with Cairo for that.

Nice. Maybe worth a mention is that Emacs 29 includes now it's own package to select (and preview) emojis. From the NEWS file: ** Emoji +++ *** Emacs now has several new methods for inserting Emojis. The Emoji commands are under the new 'C-x 8 e' prefix. +++ *** New command 'emoji-insert' (bound to 'C-x 8 e e' and 'C-x 8 e i'). This command guides you through various Emoji categories and combinations in a graphical menu system. +++ *** New command 'emoji-search' (bound to 'C-x 8 e s'). This command lets you search for Emojis based on names. +++ *** New command 'emoji-list' (bound to 'C-x 8 e l'). This command lists all Emojis (categorized by themes) in a special buffer and lets you choose one of them. --- *** New command 'emoji-recent' (bound to 'C-x 8 e r'). This command lets you choose among the Emojis you have recently inserted. +++ *** New command 'emoji-describe' (bound to 'C-x 8 e d'). This command will tell you the name of the Emoji at point. (This command also works for non-Emoji characters.) *** New input method 'emoji'.
