`emojify` runs a passed string through the Emoji emoticons processor.

See the list of [emoji shortcodes][] for available emoticons.

The `emojify` function can be called in your templates but not directly in your content files by default. For emojis in content files, set [`enableEmoji`][] to `true` in your project configuration. Then you can write emoji shorthand directly into your content files;

```md
I :heart: Hugo!
```

I :heart: Hugo!

[`enableEmoji`]: /configuration/all/#enableemoji
