GitHub
GitHub uses emoji shortcodes for emoji insertion which replace the code with the native emoji character after entering.
Eg: typing :heart_eyes: replaces this string with the ๐ Smiling Face With Heart-Eyes emoji. Some emojis have multiple shortcodes on Github, such as ๐ฉ Pile of Poo which can be inserted using :poop: :shit: or :hankey: interchangably.
Emoji shortcodes are not standardized across platforms. For example, codes from Github sometimes differ from those used on Slack.
Codes exist for emotes (non-Unicode emoji characters) which are inserted using image-replacement characters. A number of these use graphics of Doomguy from the 1993 video game Doom.
Custom emojis / emotes supported on GitHub are::
