I accidentally found a nice hack to show Emojis instead of names in Lovelace cards
How it works:
Go to settings for Lovelace cards …then behind the “name” u just put in an emoji with fir example Android phone
Watch here
The emoji will automatically be converted into the right “code” to show it .
Enjoy

since the newest update 2022.7.5 much of the emojis doesnt work anymore and are broken.
gives a page with working emojis?
BTW, you may use emoji from Emojipedia .
Select an emoji an then press a “copy” button:
then paste it into a code.
Works with a HA Editor, Visual Studio Code, even Windows Notepad.
type: entities
entities:
- entity: sun.sun
name: 😄
- entity: sun.sun
name: 🐶
Specifying an emoji by a code like “\u123456” does not work.
But if you know a code - you may find a picture by this code on that Emojipedia site.
Input a code into a “search” field:
It will give you a needed page (here - “robot” emoji), then you may copy/paste it.
@htpc2308 I suggest you to create an issue about “Emoji stopped working - cannot specify it by a code”
Specifying an emoji by a code like “\u123456” does not work
correct but this works until the newest release.
yeah i will have a look, but my experience is that i doesnt get answers on problem or bug reports.i dont think i create a thread.
But thanks
Great, better to ask for answers and do not do anything by yourself to solve the issue.
I kept creating bug reports and error reports and never got an answer. Just ignore the same thing.
I’m happy to help, but I need an answer or an interest in something.
but yes I create a thread, or on github ?
htpc2308:
github
Yes, create an issue here .
Post the issue link here, I will add my remarks in comments.
