Emojis

The use of emojis in your README is highly recommended. They not only allow your potential users to recognize categories easier and much more quickly (especially if you pick fitting icons) but also serve as additional eye-candy which will make your project look more appealing in the eyes of the majority of the viewers.

An overview of all available emojis on GitHub can be found on my github-emojis repository: https://github.com/etdon/github-emojis

The github-emojis repository gets updated automatically every Monday so you can expect the overview to be up-to-date.
