Update? about emoji-regex HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello, you can try this alternative library that I made. It is currently up to date, and should remain up to date regardless if the repository is updated or not as it pulls directly from the unicode file. However, it is created in pure Javascript, and is not a Node package.

The library has been updated now!

Up to which unicode version is currently supported?

Trick question! Emoji can be updated independently from the Unicode version — see http://unicode.org/reports/tr51/.

@mathiasbynens Gotcha. Up to which unicode version is currently supported? Is it difficult to add the new unicode ranges? Can I help?

Hey @mathiasbynens, I noticed you made an update a couple of weeks ago. Was that update to support the newer emojis, or for something else? Thanks for your work on this lib!

@josephrocca See #8 for what changed. The regular expression was made more compact but no new emojis are being matched.
