Question about emoji short codes #40

Open scripting opened 6 years ago

scripting commented 6 years ago

I want a simple JavaScript function that takes a short code like :shrug: and turns it into the corresponding emoji character. Right now I use a library that should be maintained, so that when more emoji characters are added, corresponding short codes are added.

Here's a clue that emojify is not the answer --

https://github.com/emojione/emojify.js/blob/master/src/emojify.js

hasn't been updated in two years. The short codes are embedded in the source it appears.

All that's really needed is a JSON object that's maintained. It seems that new emoji get mnemonic names. Here's an example, my favorite emoji -- shrug.

Reach out to Mark Davis at Google...he should know. Nice guy who I worked with years ago at Apple. He's mark_e_davis on twitter.

The same organization seems to have https://github.com/emojione/emojione/blob/master/emoji.json which powers https://www.emoji.codes; and while I can't find :shrug: on the website I can find it in the JSON file.

It's not clear that there's any one source of short codes for emoji-- the unicode standard doesn't define them. Maybe the closest thing is the CLDR short name, lowercase, with underscores instead of spaces?

Thank you -- that looks very good!
