emoj

Find relevant emoji from text on the command-line

Uses the API from this great article on Emoji & Deep Learning.
Check out the Dango app if you want something like this on your phone.

Install

Ensure you have Node.js version 4 or higher installed. Then run the following:

$ npm install --global emoj

Works best on macOS. Terminals on Linux render emojis in monochrome as they don't support color emojis. On Linux, I would recommend installing Emoji One for full emoji coverage. Doesn't really work on Windows.

Usage

$ emoj --help

  Usage
    $ emoj [text]

  Example

    🦄  🎠  🐴  🐎  ❤  ✨  🌈

  Run it without arguments to enter the live search
  Use the up/down keys during live search to change the skin tone
