Command-line interface to search UTF8 characters by name from a JSON cache, without requiring an Internet connection.

Inspired by https://github.com/eversport/node-unicodetable
Online, I would recommend to use this tag-based searched: http://graphemica.com/characters/tags/
yarn global add unicode-search
Or
npm install -g unicode-search
unicode-search -b Emoticons -k name,string "check mark"
unicode-search -b Emoticons -k name,string > all_emoticons.txt
Please run the following command to see the latest options:
unicode-search -h
The following is for your quick reference (may not be the latest version):
