emoji-fzf is a command-line utility for searching and retrieving emoji with the fzf fuzzy finder.
It generates an fzf-friendly list containing emoji names and aliases, making it easy to locate symbols without memorising their Unicode characters.
The utility can return one or more emoji from command-line arguments or piped input. It also supports custom aliases and can be integrated into shell workflows and Vim.
This is free and open source software.
