💻  :t sanjeev.tripurari 👍 $ 

you see the emoji's you can also have them and there are lots around, just check if your terminal supports

if you get..

 echo; echo -e "\xF0\x9F\x91\x8D"; echo; echo

👍



then you are on the way pick one of your choice, ignore other echo; this is the one
echo -e "\xF0\x9F\x91\x8D"

if you get 👍  then pick  for yourself, remember to pick utf8 hex codes
