Jupyter Notebook does not support smileys in MARKDOWN cells

Question

I'm Windows 10 (64-bit) user and I'm using Anaconda2 (Python 2.7).

I have created many gists (as Markdown .md file) on Github which supports almost all the smileys available in this Web page.

When I tried to use :smile:, :boom: etc. in Markdown cell of Jupyter Notebook, it did not work and it seems Jupyter Notebook does not support smileys.

Please suggest me if there's any way to fix this.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I also checked by visiting a lot many sites and found Jupyter Notebook does not support Github styled emojis.

@RajmaniArya suggested good way in the comment above.

And it brought me to use copy paste technique to use emojis in Markdown cells of Jupyter Notebook.

https://emojikeyboard.org and https://www.webpagefx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/ are also best to quick copy of emojis as we don't need to do copy paste things (Just one click is enough to copy).

Have a look on the below gif which clears it.

You can also visit http://getemoji.com/ suggested by @RajmaiArya and https://gist.github.com/rxaviers/7360908 to copy and paste emojis if you want other different kind of emojis.

Thanks.
