💖 Support my projects

I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).

However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:

• Starring and sharing the projects you like 🚀

• —I love books! I will remember you after years if you buy me one. 😁 📖

• —You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a coffee tea. 🍵

• —Set up a recurring monthly donation and you will get interesting news about what I'm doing (things that I don't share with everyone).

• Bitcoin—You can send me bitcoins at this address (or scanning the code below): 1P9BRsmazNQcuyTxEqveUsnf5CERdq35V6

emoji-unicode's Issues

cannot recognize emojis with more than one codepoint

Hey there, thanks for your library. I've tried it out but unfortunately it only works for emojis with a single codepoint.

Take the flag of the united states as an example:

$ node
> const emojiUnicode = require("emoji-unicode")
undefined
> emojiUnicode("🇺🇸")
'1f1fa'

The result should be:

• 🇺 U+1F1FA
• 🇸 U+1F1F8

Adding helper function for consistent unicode format

Hello! This library saved a project of mine and I am so grateful for existence. I did want to ask though, are you still taking PRs for this library? I needed to add a helper function that converted the output of this library into a standard format that was consistent with the unicode docs. There were some converted emoji-unicode values that were missing 0s at the beginning, and the addition of presentation modifiers like fe0f were causing inconsistent results when comparing emojis. I think using emojiUnicode.raw() might have helped this issue, but in my project it was important to keep all values in standard unicode format.
