Emojis can also be implemented by using the emoji module provided in Python. To install it run the following in the terminal.

pip install emoji

Code:

# import emoji module 
import emoji
   
print(emoji.emojize(":grinning_face_with_big_eyes:"))
print(emoji.emojize(":winking_face_with_tongue:"))
print(emoji.emojize(":zipper-mouth_face:"))
