I wanted to have environment variables like %EMOJI_BROCCOLI% to use for emojis. For reasons.
I spent way too long programmatically generating these in python.
In the end, I created a file (emoji.env) that can be read with "set /r emoji.env" in about 0.7 seconds to grant access to about 1300 working emojis via environment variable.
This lets you echo emojis via environment variables, like so:
The file looks like this:
And gives you environment variables like this:
It's not very tested, but they mostly work, some empty boxes but it looks like >90% work:
I hit quite a few brick walls trying to generate a better list. This one is flawed. I would love if someone could make my code even better:
