some emoji not supported

[casperdcl]

is there a list of supported emoji? Some don't seem to work.

e.g.: :star_struck: renders fine in this issue, but not on https://tldr.cdcl.ml/prototype-fast:

GH issue (native)	gh-pages site (jekyll/jemoji)

I see the same, using v0.12.0; within the same document:

• :slightly_smiling_face: works 🙂
• :fondue: and :salt: don't work, but are displayed just as text; the names seem to be correct: 🫕 , 🧂

I dug a bit further; jemoji depends on gemoji to perform the actual replacement of the emoji colon sequences:

https://github.com/jekyll/jemoji/blob/b6b4fa6a576df783943f07dd859ff26d81236440/jemoji.gemspec#L18

Now, the latest v3 release of gemoji is v3.0.1 from July 2019; commits to gemoji since then include

• Unicode 11 emojis https://github.com/github/gemoji/commit/70b65c3b10d054c085683ff179eb4aae3c3e4056
• Add new Unicode 12 emoji https://github.com/github/gemoji/commit/6f5518a9eda25dbadf9a9cca39f38b78cfedec94
• Import Unicode 12.1 characters https://github.com/github/gemoji/commit/3cde47962723e8878e56562d9778817bd5eec310
• Import Emoji 13.0 characters https://github.com/github/gemoji/commit/bf598c57fc7ce07d872e37de5ed88094404febae
• Import Emoji 13.1 characters https://github.com/github/gemoji/commit/0f2f9ce0475dfe6c838171fe2d8bd7284529eafa

Specifically, the emoji.json file has received over 10k new lines and over 7k deletions (too large to show in web client).

What this means when using gemoji: you can't use any emoji added in 2018 or later in this chart. There are v4 release candidates of gemoji, but the most recent one is from January 2020. I'll play around a bit to see if gemoji is affected by the breaking changes or not, and if not, we can maybe lobby @mislav to release gemoji v4, and get jemoji to bump the dependency?

[bewuethr]

This being said, :star_struck: should work, it's part of Unicode 10.0 🤔 looks like they're not supported either, only 9 and older. We're stuck with emoji from 2016 and older 😱

[mislav]

Thanks for the ping; I've merged outstanding gemoji PRs and will release gemoji v4.0.0 final (with Unicode 14 support) after I've checked with my peers; probably tomorrow.

Most excellent, thanks! I'll see if jemoji can be bumped then and will open a PR here if so.

...turns that's already in flight at #94

[mislav]

gemoji 4.0.0 is out 🚀

[ashmaroli]

Thank you for shipping v4.0.0 @mislav

[parkr]

[bewuethr]

Amaaaazing! 🚀 Thank you all 😃 Off to emoji up my website...

Upgraded but :star_struck: still doesn't work for me

...
    jemoji (0.13.0)
      gemoji (>= 3, < 5)
...

You still use gemoji 3.0.1 (see here), you have to update that to 4.0.0.

[casperdcl]

Ah I see why it wasn't updated

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "gemoji":
  In Gemfile:
    gemoji (~> 4.0)

    jekyll-spaceship was resolved to 0.10.2, which depends on
      gemoji (~> 3.0)
