killall Finder
  1. In Finder, go to your user directory and open the .bash_prompt file with Sublime Text. Note: if you don't have any fancy .bash_prompt stuffs you can steal mine from here. It will give you pretty colors + a kitten emoji to start with.
  2. Go to line 57 and find the emoji that's there. Click on line 59 and go to "Edit > Special Characters."
  3. Click the little keyboard icon in the top right window that pops up.
  4. Choose your emoji and right click it to "Copy character info"
  5. Paste that business into line 59 of the file.
  6. Delete all the other crud. Then cut and paste your chosen emoji over the one that's in line 57, save, restart your terminal and you're good to go.
