You've now made a cool bot, but it's lacking personality? Add some emoji!

Direct Method

The easiest way to use emoji is to directly put them in your strings. The Unicode website has a chart with all the emoji. Simply select any emoji you want, this works with both the images and the raw characters in the "Browser" column, and paste it in your string.

text = "🌈⛈🎉🌹🐧😊"

In the code you may see squares with numbers in them instead of the emoji themself. This means the font in your text editor does not have an image for that character, but it is still there.

Finally, test your emoji by sending it to yourself over Telegram. Know that Telegram does not support all the emoji.

The emoji module

With the emoji module you don't have to copy paste emoji, you can use their names or aliases as on GitHub:

from emoji import emojize
bot.send_message(emojize("yummy :cake:", use_aliases=True))

Note: the emojize function uses regular expressions and takes on the order of microseconds to complete. If your bot handles billions of messages per second, put the emoji in reusable variables to micro-optimize:

cake = emojize(":cake:", use_aliases=True)
