Can we export an object such that it gives me emoji unicode to all the emojis map? #275

Hi, I'm using this module in my project. I have a text area and whenever I'm adding an emoji from Emoji Picker, I'm putting the emoji unicode so that browser can determine and show that appropriately so rendering the emoji, I need to send an emoji object to the EmojiIcon component which is been exported from this repo. So, if I'll have a map of emoji utf-8 codes to it's object, that'd be really great. Now, I'm having issues with converting emojis to unicode and some emojis can be of multiple code points

Does importing the JSON file directly from https://github.com/missive/emoji-mart/tree/master/data solve this issue for you?

Actually I wanted a behaviour something like emoji-dictionary but instead name, I wanted the unified value from the data but I guess this is not possible because few emojis are made up of multiple code points (hence multiple unified values). Should we implement some function like emoji-dictionary in emoji-mart as well where I can get the name of the emoji from the utf-8 values?

What do you mean by "unified value from the data"? Does this data not exist in the JSON files?

This is resolved after the function getEmojiDataFromNative is added to the library
