Missing unicode bytes? about emoji-data HOT 7 CLOSED

those are the (old) google representations.

\xF3\xBE\x93\xAC -> U+FE4EC
\xF3\xBE\x93\xA6 -> U+FE4E6

these are included in the emoji.json dataset as google codepoints. you can see them in the google column here: http://unicodey.com/emoji-data/table.htm (search for :flag-ru: and :flag-us:).

the data is present, so it's probably a case of how you're using it.

Thanks!

Is there a way I can customize the build script to also include the old representations? The problem is apparently they are still floating out there in some Tweets thus slipping through the cracks when we try to save to a UTF8 database and corrupting the data.

Thanks!

Can you explain what you're actually using to process the text? This repo just contains a json file of emoji definitions, no actual processing code.

Sorry that would help uh? Using your php-emoji library under the emoji-data branch (https://github.com/iamcal/php-emoji) forked and modified to use the latest data here.

I guess I'm just not for sure how to generate the older Google unicode bytes. I'll play though.

Well, just proved I'm a total idiot :-) I fixed it after taking your hint on the emoji.json. Thanks for the quick responses!

aha! the function you want to use is emoji_google_to_unified(). the following code:

<?php
    include('emoji.php');

    $in = "\xF3\xBE\x93\xAC";

    $unified = emoji_google_to_unified($in);

    $html = emoji_unified_to_html($unified);

    echo "$html\n";

will output the expected flag html:

<span class="emoji-outer"><span class="emoji-inner emoji1f1f71f1fa"></span></span>
