A way to escape emoji?

[manoelpqueiroz]

Hi guys, I have a f-string in my application where I want to render some colour output with Rich, but also a unformatted string with an emoji shortcode:

import textwrap
from rich import print

message = f'''
    Upload initial code to {scm_platform}:

        [bold red]$[/] [green]git[/] [yellow]add[/] [blue].[/]
        [bold red]$[/] [green]git[/] [yellow]commit[/] [blue]-m[/] [yellow]:tada: Initial commit"[/]
        [bold red]$[/] [green]git[/] [yellow]remote add[/] [red]origin[/] [blue]{scm_base_url}.git[/]
        [bold red]$[/] [green]git[/] [yellow]push[/] [cyan]-u[/] [blue]origin master[/]
'''
print(textwrap.dedent(message))

However, since I'm using Rich's print function, it will always render the :tada: emoji as 🎉. I have tried using rich.markup.escape as the docs suggest, but to no avail.

Is it possible to escape the shortcode in this case?

You can disable emojis using the Console class:

from rich.console import Console

# Disable all emojis
console = Console(emoji=False)

# Disable emojis for specific prints
console.print("No emoji! :tada:", emoji=False)

Thanks! Didn't know it was that simple!
