emoji-finder

A command‑line utility that lets users search for Unicode emoji and copy the selected result directly to the system clipboard. It reads a query string, filters the emoji list for matches, and outputs the chosen character without requiring a graphical interface. The tool is designed for developers and power users who work primarily in terminal environments and need a fast way to insert emoji into code, documentation, or chat messages.

The program operates entirely from the shell, invoking a simple command with optional search terms. When a match is found, it places the emoji into the clipboard using the underlying operating system’s clipboard handling, making it immediately available for pasting elsewhere. It supports standard input and output streams, allowing integration into scripts or other command‑line workflows.

Implemented as a stable, core CLI component, the software requires no additional dependencies beyond a typical Unix‑like environment. Its lightweight design focuses on speed and minimalism, providing a straightforward solution for emoji lookup and copying without opening a browser or GUI application.
