What I want to achieve is - Haveto have a specific emoji forappear next to dotfiles inside file manager "lf""LF" (these can be made visible in the file manager with the "zh" shortcut).

In my ~/.config/lf/icons these are the first 9 lines in it:

^\..*   👑  
di  📁  
fi  🗞️  
tw  🤝  
ow  ❌  
ln  🔗  
or  ❔  
ex  🚀  
*.txt   🗞️

These are additional things I've tried:

 1. ^\..*   👑
 2. ^\.*    👑
 3. ^.* 👑
 4. .*  👑
 5. ..* 👑

I've also tried reordering this "icons" file, i.e. putting one of these 5 before or after "fi" and similar filetypes.

Is this even possible in "lf""LF"?

Other emojis seem to work fine.
