Using emojis in a gitlab-ci

Question

Good morning,

Anyone know how to add emoji in a gitlab pipeline?

In my gitlab-ci.yml file, I tried:

• To add the emoji hard -> it does not work
• To use the unicode of the emoji -> it doesn't work
• Use icon key -> Not working
• Use emojis key -> Not working

Obviously it is possible to do this:

• https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/31581#note_393070368

• https://github.com/yodamad/gitlab-emoji/blob/master/README.md

Thanks in advance :)

Emojis are supported. Simply embed the characters directly in your .gitlab-ci.yml file.

For example:

stages:
  - 📦 build
  - 🤞 test

"build 🏗 job":
  stage: 📦 build
  script:
    - echo 'build'

"test 🧪 job":
  stage: 🤞 test
  script:
    - echo 'test'

When viewed in GitLab, will show the emojis in the same places stage/job names are usually displayed:
