Description

Loving it so far. Some of the tools I use create PRs and add emojis to them. Right now ghi displays them like this:

  10: Update mocha to version 2.4.5 <U+1F680> 1 ↑
   9: Update chai to version 3.5.0 <U+1F680> 1 ↑
   8: Update mocha to version 2.4.4 <U+1F680> 1 ↑
   7: Update mocha to version 2.4.3 <U+1F680> 1 ↑
   6: Update mocha to version 2.4.2 <U+1F680> ↑
   5: Update mocha to version 2.4.1 <U+1F680> 1 ↑
   4: Update commitizen to version 2.5.0 <U+1F680> 1 ↑
   3: Update istanbul to version 0.4.2 <U+1F680> 1 ↑
   2: Get a specific number of aliases
   1: Remove commitizen warnings

It'd be awesome to get emojis in the terminal.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify where ghi formats issue/PR display strings and investigate how to properly handle Unicode emoji characters (e.g., using Ruby's built in Unicode support or a gem like 'unicode/emoji' for terminal output).
