About:
Emojify is a command-line utility that converts plain text emoticons like ':smile:' into actual Unicode emoji characters. It parses input text and replaces text-based representations with their corresponding emoji symbols, making terminal output more expressive. The tool enhances communication in CLI environments, logs, and scripts by adding visual flair without requiring special input methods.

Key Features:

Converts text-based emoticons to Unicode emoji
Works with standard input and output for easy piping
Supports a wide range of common emoji mappings
Simple, dependency-light implementation

Use Cases:

Enhancing terminal output and CLI prompts with emoji
Adding visual elements to shell scripts and automation logs
Improving readability of notifications and status messages

Alternatives:

emoji-cli – Similar functionality but may have different emoji mapping sets or implementation approach
emojipedia-cli – Focuses more on emoji lookup and information rather than text-to-emoji conversion
