Get actual emoji in returned object about emoji-picker-react HOT 1 CLOSED

Hey @oznekenzo, thanks for your interest in this project :)

The reason I don't return the actual emoji is that it simply isn't reliable enough to be cross-platform, and in many cases, you wouldn't be able to work with it as not all emojis are supported by all operating systems. That's why the standard on the web is to use an image over the emoji character.

But here is a neat trick you can do to actually try and get the emoji yourself from the return object:

const emojiCode = '1f43d';
String.fromCodePoint(parseInt(emojiCode, 16));
// "🐽"

I hope that helps :)
