Hello, It was quite simple actually, a few things you'd need to know is that, emojis are essentially unicode characters -> Unicode

Almost all programming languages have some sort of way to encode characters, with python for instance it is string.encode(encoding=encoding, errors=errors)

Knowing this, the challenge was then to get all those unicodes in a particular order, the one way i could figure it out was to scrape all of them and put them in a .txt file

Procedure

• I built a scraper using selenium library (you can find it here -> EMOJI SCRAPPER)
• Then I scraped the emojiPedia website, specifically the google emoji set, (I preferred that order) -> EmojiPedia
• On emojipedia there's a copy button for every emoji, so I built the scraper to click that button and then paste it in a txt file
• I let it run overnight and then I got my emojis in the textfile
• I also scrapped the emoji images using an extension for chrome Extension
• Then I just wrote a batch script (CMD script) to rename all the images in the order as the emojis text. Then I just imported them into python and then displayed them using a for loop while matching the image to the content of the txt file in the form { [image1 : emojitext1] , [image2 : emojitext2]} and so on

Hope that helps ☺, I'm sure there are various packages that would help you do this exact thing easily tho
