emoji-data's Introduction

This project provides easy-to-parse data about emoji, along with a spritesheet-style images for use on the web.

You can see a catalog of the emoji data here: http://unicodey.com/emoji-data/table.htm

Installation

The git repo is pretty big (almost 4GB), but contains everything. If you want to use npm, you can:

npm install emoji-datasource

This will only install the 32px full-fidelity spritesheets. If you want different size sheets (16,20 or 64px), quantized sheets (128 or 256 color) or the individual images (at 64px) then you'll need to install additional npm modules:

npm install emoji-datasource-apple
npm install emoji-datasource-google
npm install emoji-datasource-twitter
npm install emoji-datasource-emojione
npm install emoji-datasource-facebook
npm install emoji-datasource-messenger

Using the data

The file you want is emoji.json. It contains an array of entries for emoji that look like this:

[
	{
		"name": "WHITE UP POINTING INDEX",
		"unified": "261D",
		"variations": [
			"261D-FE0F"
		],
		"docomo": null,
		"au": "E4F6",
		"softbank": "E00F",
		"google": "FEB98",
		"image": "261d.png",
		"sheet_x": 1,
		"sheet_y": 2,
		"short_name": "point_up",
		"short_names": [
			"point_up"
		],
		"text": null,
		"texts": null,
		"category": "People",
		"sort_order": 116,

			},
			...
		},
		"obsoletes": "ABCD-1234",
		"obsoleted_by": "5678-90EF"
	},
	...
]

An explanation of the various fields is in order:

  • name - The offical Unicode name, in SHOUTY UPPERCASE.
  • unified - The Unicode codepoint, as 4-5 hex digits. Where an emoji needs 2 or more codepoints, they are specified like 1F1EA-1F1F8.
  • variations - An array of commonly used codepoint variations.
  • docomo, au, softbank, google - The Unicode codepoints used by various mobile vendors.
  • image - The name of the image file.
  • sheet_x & sheet_y - The position of the image in the spritesheets.
  • short_name - The commonly-agreed upon short name for the image, as supported in campfire, github etc via the :colon-syntax:
  • short_names - An array of all the known short names.
  • text - An ASCII version of the emoji (e.g. :)), or null where none exists.
  • texts - An array of ASCII emoji that should convert into this emoji. Each ASCII emoji will only appear against a single emoji entry.
  • has_img_* - A flag for whether the given image set has an image (named by the image prop) available.
  • added_id - Unicode versions in which this codepoint/sequence was added.
  • skin_variations - For skin-varying emoji, a list of alternative glyphs, keyed by the skin tone.
  • obsoletes / obsoleted_by - Emoji that are no longer used, in preference of gendered versions.
