Add emoji support
You should already be able to do this. Assuming you are using UTF-8 for your markdown (and a unicode aware Screen), you can use the unicode glyphs for emojis (https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html).
Yes, unicode emojis work fine but they don't show up nicely even after increasing the terminal font size. I think ColourImageFile could be used to render emojis instead, while also supporting the GitHub flavored markdown emoji syntax.
Just wanted to point out that Unicode Support in Windows-based consoles is very troublesome right now. For example, the current print line to console
click.secho("All done! ✨ 🍰 ✨", bold=True)
prints
All done! ✨ �🍰✨✨
In some versions of the console, no unicode output can be seen.
However, https://github.com/microsoft/terminal is set to be shipped as the default terminal for all windows systems sometime soon, which delivers expected outputs for Unicodes. But until then, only *nix based systems could have this feature.
