GitHub labels and Emojis ❤️️

Github labels with emojis

Whether you like it or not emojis became part of how we communicate on the internet. Just by seeing that yellow face with tears of joy 😂, you instantly know that the person sending it to you thinks something is really funny to cry with laughter. Sentences like “Hey. How are you?” are nearly always accompanied by that roundy smiling face. One of my recent discoveries are emojis in Github labels.

GitHub labels can be applied to issues and pull requests to signify priority, category, or any other information that you find useful. It would be awesome to assign emojis for GitHub labels.

Believe it or not GitHub labels support emojis up to Unicode version 5.2. Unicode 6.0 or higher version can’t be used as they have unicode characters above 0xFFFF 😭 Here is our emoji choice for GitHub labels.
