The provided webpage does not offer any information on how to use custom emojies in Obsidian specifically. However, it does offer a plugin that makes it easier to add emoji to your notes in general using an enhanced keyword search. This plugin includes a large dictionary of keywords, allowing you to find emoji that you wouldn’t find otherwise, including broad terms like “car” and colors like “orange”. The plugin also boasts secure, local-only usage and a faster and keyboard-friendly interface.
Please note that this plugin does not support custom emoji, as it only supports actual emoji characters and will render platform-appropriate versions. It is a good option if you want to easily add emoji to your notes using existing keywords.
