any way to make it work with emojis?
I try to create sentences with emoji but the emoji appears with numeric codes inside a box

AFAIK emojis are just unicode characters, so as long as your selected font supports those characters, it's enough to just include the escaped unicode character

generate("Look ma' a rainbow! \u{1F308}", {});

Here's a live demo.

Currently there's no support for multiple fonts in text-to-image, so if your selected font doesn't support emojis, then you'll have to pick one that does, I'm afraid.
