Unicode, Emoji, or Special Characters on a layer?

[mccarthyryanc]

Is there a way to tie specific unicode chars to a key?

For example, if my Access Layer 2 key is Fn, I'd like to press Fn + p to output 🐍.

I see another similar issue but it looks unresolved.
QMK (this project is using this right? sorry, new to this.) looks like it has some unicode support, but maybe not emojis?

The Keyboard Configurator does not currently have unicode or emoji support, but you're right that Launch uses QMK firmware, and QMK has some basic unicode support. I think emoji is a much more complicated situation, but there might be a way to program macros that tie into specific apps or custom OS integrations. Instructions for flashing custom QMK firmware can be found here for launch_2: https://github.com/system76/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/system76/launch_2/README.md (other models are up a directory, each has a readme in it).
