Coding is a teamwork most of the time. Sometimes we need to use a really old code snippet or we need to modify it. On the other hand comments play a major role in a code. Before implementation, some people write what TODO in human language as a practice.

Nowadays, emojis are popular everywhere. In addition, emojis adds more emotional meaning to the text. So, what about emojis in code ๐Ÿค”?

๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’กThis is just an idea
---------For example ----------- 
๐Ÿ”Ž - Something to  find more
๐Ÿ’Ž - Something really important
๐Ÿ”จ - Something to fix
๐Ÿ’ฏ - Something fully Tested
๐Ÿ”’ - Passwords or things related to security 
โ˜And another thing, most of the new text editors can display emojis
