em is a command-line utility for finding emoji by name and copying them to the clipboard. You can provide one or more emoji names to build a sequence, search the bundled collection using keywords, or select an emoji at random.
Searches can match categories, colours and other descriptive terms. em also supports custom emoji definitions stored in a JSON file and can print results without copying them, making it suitable for shell scripts.
This is free and open source software.

- Copy matched emoji automatically to the clipboard.
- Print emoji without clipboard interaction for use in scripts.
- Select a random emoji from the collection or search results.
