I did everything step by step but still the emojis are not shown :

:tada: is ascii character, not emoji so you see ascii characters. if you type 🎉 you will it for sure.
If you want :tada: to be rendered as 🎉, use a software that do the translation for you, the issue is not in the terminal.

I didn't know, I thought that because gitmoji runs in the terminal, the emojis will be in a format that the terminal can understand.

Not sure why, but for me, it was enough to add the following two lines to my ~/.bash_profile without the need to install any emojis. Not sure if this will provide you with all unicode.org emojis, though. Probably not. For me, it was a simple fix so I wanted to share it anyways.

export PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8
chcp.com 65001

I followed everything, but nothing worked... help

Just use windows terminal :)
