Print emojis natively

As all emoji characters are defined within the UTF-8 standard, you can print emojis or any other UTF-8 character in Python natively.

For instance

>>> '\U0001F600'

will print the emoji character 1F600 (GRINNING FACE). To get the unicode encoding for a specific emoji, refer to the emoji list.

Alternatively, you may also refer to the emojis name, e.g.

>>> '\N{GRINNING FACE}'

which will also print the same emoji as above.

To get the name of an emoji as defined in Python, use the unicodedata module:

>>> import unicodedata
>>> unicodedata.name(chr(0x1F600))
    'GRINNING FACE'
>>> unicodedata.name('\U0001F600')
    'GRINNING FACE'
