Emojis are an effective way to express your emotion through line of text, giving readers insight into your personality and sense of humor

But sometime that’s not enough and you may want to add more, for example:

Hugo’s default emoji #
Hugo does support parsing emoji using shortcode
:emoji-name: -> 😄
I believe it’s enabled by default. If not, here’s how you
can enable it:
./hugo.yaml or ./config/_default/config.yaml
enableEmoji: true
Add your custom emoji with hugo-vmoji #
I made a little Hugo module to address my custom emoji problem, simply put images in a directory, run a cli command and you are done!
Installation process is documented here , it’s quite simple.
