Emoji reference

VSoft.AnsiConsole ships with the full standard emoji shortcode list - the same :name: set you've seen on GitHub, Slack, Discord, and Spectre.Console. 1500+ entries.

Usage

Anywhere markup is parsed, :name: substitutes the corresponding unicode glyph:

AnsiConsole.MarkupLine('Building :rocket:');
AnsiConsole.MarkupLine('All tests passed :check_mark_button:');
AnsiConsole.MarkupLine('[red]Failed[/] :x:');

That's MarkupLine, Markup, Widgets.Markup, panel headers, table cells, tree node labels - any consumer of markup-formatted text.

Direct lookup

Resolve a shortcode to its glyph in code without going through markup:

glyph := AnsiConsole.Emoji('rocket');     // returns '🚀'
glyph := AnsiConsole.Emoji(':rocket:');   // colons are accepted too

Returns the empty string when the shortcode is unknown.

In-place replacement

For arbitrary text that may contain shortcodes:

out := TEmoji.Replace(input);

TEmoji lives in source/Core/VSoft.AnsiConsole.Emoji.pas.

Common shortcodes

Shortcode	Glyph	Use case
:rocket:	🚀	Launch / deploy
:check_mark_button:	✅	Success
:x:	❌	Failure
:warning:	⚠️	Warning
:bulb:	💡	Tip / idea
:fire:	🔥	Hot / on-fire metric
:robot:	🤖	Bot / automation
:wrench:	🔧	Build / config
:hourglass:	⏳	Slow / pending
:tada:	🎉	Celebration
:zap:	⚡	Fast / electric
:sparkles:	✨	New feature
:bug:	🐛	Bug
:lock:	🔒	Security
:globe_with_meridians:	🌐	Network / global

The full list (1500+ entries, generated from the Unicode CLDR short-names) lives at source/Core/VSoft.AnsiConsole.Emoji.pas.

Terminal support

Modern terminals (Windows Terminal, iTerm2, GNOME Terminal, ConEmu) display emoji glyphs natively. Older terminals may show tofu (□) for some glyphs. The library doesn't try to detect emoji support - your terminal's font ultimately decides.
