some emoji can't match

[gdutwyg]

you can try '\u263a'.match(regex) and '\u263a\ufe0f'.match(regex)

result:

'\u263a\ufe0f' can match, but '\u263a' can‘t

I found some emoji not matched with this regexp:

@mathiasbynens Could you comment it, please?

[mpalmerlee]

I believe what you want is the text version of the regex that doesn't require the variation selector (U+FE0F) e.g.: const emojiRegex = require('emoji-regex/text.js');

Looks like you are right. I think I should be more attentive. Thank you!

Closing, since OP meant to use the /text.js regex, and it addresses their problem.
