This emoji workflow scrapes Unicode.org to pull down the latest set of emoji!!. On the first run, you must be connected to the Internet so that you can generate the initial Emoji set. As new emoji are released you are able to re-query unicode.org to download the latest emoji set. There may be situations where you have emoji that do not display correctly on osx but would render correctly on ios .  This is because the emoji list on ios and osx are updated at different times.  

 

Commands:

  • init emoji
  • e <search string>

 

The first time you run this workflow use the command init emoji to start the download process.

 

To trigger an emoji search you use the e button and start typing a search term

You can get funky and use - to exclude something such as in this case

Releases:

*  0.9.6 - Added new commands like:

*  0.9.28 - New Icon

* 0.9.54 - Latest and greatest - works and has been working for some time now :)  

* 0.9.55 - Updated documentation to match what we have now

 

Commands

alt/option (⌥) - Show Unicode Values
cmd (⌘) - Show Python String
ctrl (⌃) - Show Python String decoded

If you are not running the "latest and greatest" its possible Emoji wont render on your system.  The Emoji data comes off the Unicode website and I believe the Apple support gets updated depending on the support in the latest beta.  Aka - I can't do bacon emoji right now but its supposed to be coming in iOS 10.2

Hey @jeffsui , this looks great! I was actually looking for a taco emoji and I stumbled upon this workflow! I used to make workflows in the past, but its been a while and I have a question. How do I change the keyword for the workflow? When I type `e`, too many other things pop up and I don't see your workflow. 

 

Thanks!

sorry just need to pass by to say that i cannot live without this Workflow. all my love to you taco man  ❤️

 

Me neither!  (but then again thats why I wrote it).

 

The only thing I wish I had was a better way to search for emoji - as unicode.org doesn't really listen the aliases out there.

@jeffsui I've downloaded an run init emoji, waited for the progress bar etc and it says complete. However unfortunately it seems like no emoji works.

 

Is there anything I can do to get it working?

 

Thanks!

Edit: After uninstalling, deleting Alfred's preferences, restarting, and not running init emoji, I now see invisible emoji:

So for now it works, but there are no previews at all.

 

Someone else has reported the same issue here:

Is anyone else having issues?

I've got this workflow working on my computer at but for some reason it won't work on my computer at work. I have the same issue as @alfredpanda on my work computer. The "init emoji" process completes, but when I try to search for an emoji i get a "No Emoji found" message. 

 

Here's what came out of the logs when I ran it in debug mode:

I really love this workflow and hope that it can get updated with a fix. Thanks @jeffsui!!

Nothing happens when I run "Init Emoji". I get the following debug message: 

[12:10:46.193] Logging Started...
[12:10:51.361] Emoji Taco[Script Filter] Queuing argument ''
[12:10:51.382] Emoji Taco[Script Filter] Script with argv '' finished
[12:10:51.384] ERROR: Emoji Taco[Script Filter] Code 1: Exited with error code but no message

 

Any clues as to why this is happening?
