Do any of you know of a package that lets me use slack / mastodon style emoji insertion?

Between Mastodon & Rocket (awesome macOS app) I keep starting to type : foo : instead of going to M-x insert-char

Obviously we can't just use : foo : because programming languages use colons all the time, but surely there's something similar we can do like !: foo :! or whatever.

🤔 I can't remember a language that combines colons and bangs.

@masukomi are you familiar with the C-x 8 e binding prefix for using emojis? C-x 8 e e (or i) is insert and offers a short list, C-x 8 e s is search assuming you know the name, C-x 8 e l is list.

This is not similar to the behavior in Slack which is closer to abbrevs or snippets, areas that I am not that familiar with.
