GEmojiSharp
A .NET library and toolset for working with GitHub emoji aliases and Unicode characters across C#, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, and command-line tools.
What is GEmojiSharp?
GEmojiSharp is a .NET library and toolset that provides programmatic access to GitHub's emoji system. It allows developers to convert between GitHub-style emoji aliases (e.g., `:octocat:`) and Unicode characters within C# code, web applications, and command-line tools. The project solves the problem of consistently handling emojis across different .NET platforms and developer environments.
.NET developers building applications that need to display or process GitHub-style emojis, particularly those working with ASP.NET Core, Blazor, or command-line tools. It's also useful for developers creating PowerToys plugins or MCP servers.
Developers choose GEmojiSharp because it offers a unified, well-tested solution for GitHub emoji handling across the entire .NET stack, with multiple integration packages and tools that save time compared to building custom emoji parsing logic.
