emoji_data.rb
Ruby library providing low level operations for dealing with Emoji glyphs in the Unicode standard. :cool:
EmojiData is like a swiss-army knife for dealing with Emoji encoding issues. If
all you need to do is translate :poop: into :poop:, then there are plenty of
other libs out there that will probably do what you want. But once you are
dealing with Emoji as a fundamental part of your application, and you start to
realize the nightmare of doublebyte encoding or
variants, then this library may be your new best friend.
:raised_hands:
EmojiData is used in production by Emojitracker.com to parse well over 100M+ emoji glyphs daily. :dizzy:
Don't like Ruby? This library has also now been ported to NodeJS and Elixir.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'emoji_data'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install emoji_data
Currently requires RUBY_VERSION >= 1.9.3.
