Emojis search #3

Good day!

We have purchased premium license of JoyPixels (EmojiOne) version 5 and incorporating your emojis in our iOS and Android app.

Is it possible to search through the emojis?

If this feature is not possible to be supported in iOS and Android, then is there at least a text/JSON file where the emoji's unique name is bound to a description and title of said emoji? We can parse the text/JSON file and correlate each title and description pair to their corresponding emoji.

Hi @om-ha, sorry for the delay! For search you might want to start here https://github.com/joypixels/emoji-toolkit/blob/master/emoji_strategy.json. From this you can obtain the title as well as any associated keywords. In most cases that'll simply be a tag for the Unicode version in which the emoji was released, for example "uc12" is the tag for all this year's new emoji. The data is keyed by the "base codepoint" of the emoji which is also how our emoji asset files are named. Hopefully that helps!
