How do you change the "home" directory from "~" to 🏠

How do you change the "home" directory from "~" to 🏠 (house emoji)

Also more generally how do we set it so some paths like

~/Desktop get rendered as 💻 (desktop)
/ get rendered as 🖥 (computer)
~/Documents 📃

So I can get ~/My/Files be rendered as 🏠/My/Files

You can take a look at my configuration files, where I have done that extensively, and in order to achieve what you have asked for, you need to add the following to your starship.toml config file:

[directory.substitutions]
"~/Documents" = "📃"
"~/Desktop" = "💻"
"~" = "🏠"

I'm not sure if it is possible to substitute "/*", as I'm replacing the slash with a powerline symbol (see above).

Take care
