Useful Emoji for use in Safe Apps

Here’s a nice help task for everyone. Thanks to a suggestion to look at git-ssb-web from someone on twitter I’ve learned a neat way to embed icons for files in my git portal repository listing: :v: :file_folder::page_facing_up:

I never thought of using emoji in a web app like this, but what other ones can we use in a git portal or other Safe apps? Any other file types or useful things for buttons such as ‘like’ / ‘star’, follow etc.

Feel free to collect a few suggestions together with a word or two for uses and post them here. :v:

This page a wiki so somebody is willing, we can summarise the suggestions here:

You can edit this because I made it a wiki - please add new emoji and categories as needed!

I added some Unicode emojis; there are many more usable…
Seems like the forum replaces some, that lead to duplication.

That’s cool, thanks very much!

By the way, you can see how I’ve begun to use these in the latest p2p git portal here (bottom right) although @Miguelo may have his own solution:

BTW Eclipse’s egit contains a good set of icons for all git actions.
eclipse_git_toolbar
Source: icons - egit.git - Eclipse Git Team Provider (technology.egit)

Excellent thanks… “They’re under the EPL, not compatible with GPL” oh :open_mouth:

Yes, sorry, saw that too late. And I don’t know which license you chose.
While EPL allows double licensing, it’s improbable that the unnamed contributors would agree.

All my projects so far are GPLv3.
