Alt-numpad-decimal e.g. Alt234 depends on the console codepage selected. Mintty selection of Options/Text/Locale and Character set UTF-8 or cmd chcp 65001 selects Unicode. Alt-numpad-+-hex (on regular keys) allows hex unicode input e.g. Alt+3a9 if the font supports the character. Free text fonts which support Unicode character emojis are updated regularly. Look for Cygwin packages matching ...font... containing Truetype or Opentype fonts, and just copy them to Windows/Fonts e.g. find /usr/share/fonts/ -name '*.[ot]tf' | \ xargs cp -put /proc/cygdrive/c/Windows/Fonts/ You may need to run in an admin/elevated console to write to Windows/Fonts. -- Take care.
