Some instant messenging apps, e.g. Viber ((foo)) and WeChat/QQ (/:foo and [Foo]), are using various codes to transmit (standard and custom) emojis. Should they be added to the JSON file?

iamcal commented 6 years ago

maybe! depends if there's a data source i can include, or if someone has manually built a mapping

Crissov commented 6 years ago

I could provide some mapping tables: certainly Viber and WAP, perhaps Skype, WeChat, Cisco etc.

Which format would be ideal?

iamcal commented 6 years ago

something similar to data_softbank_map.txt, showing the emoji CP and the representation (using comments in the same way). then the build script can process them

Understood: # for line comments and fields separated by a space. Other data_*.txt files have fields separated by a semicolon ; or tab.
