Emoji Taco - (downloads emoji from unicode.org)

[jeffsui 18]

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

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!

Actually, I realized that after I run `init emoji`, the workflow breaks and I can't find/use the workflow anymore (which explains my first comment). Is this still working for you on your local machine?

Try the latest release from here:  https://github.com/jeeftor/EmojiTaco/releases.  I just downloaded to a new machine and it appears to be working correctly.

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.

Likewise man, this is brilliant. Any plans to include the iOS 14.2 emojis?

After updating to Mac Os Big Sur, when I use the workflow, the emojis do not appear next to their descriptions anymore. The workflow still works fine as intended, but the pictures of the emojis before hitting enter are now blank. Does anyone know why?

is it possible to search emojis in other languages besides English?
