The answers might work but are terrible because they rely on unicode ranges that are unreadable and somewhat “magic” because it’s not always clear where do they come from and why they work, not to mention they’re not resilient to new emojis being added to the spec. Major browsers now support unicode property escape which … Read more
Yes, you can color them! div { color: transparent; text-shadow: 0 0 0 red; } <div>🚀🎭😻</div>
For historical reasons. Originally, there was only U+2764 HEAVY BLACK HEART which the first applications that supported Emojis decided to render as a red heart. These early applications always rendered U+2764 as Emoji. Later it was realized that this was a bad idea and the variation selectors for Emojis were standardized. When additional heart emojis … Read more
character_set_client, _connection, and _results must all be utf8mb4 for that shortcake to be eatable. Something, somewhere, is setting a subset of those individually. Rummage through my.cnf and phpmyadmin’s settings — something is not setting all three. If SET NAMES utf8mb4 is executed, all three set correctly. The sun shone because it is only 3-bytes – … Read more
On Python 2, you have to use u” literal to create a Unicode string. Also, you should pass re.UNICODE flag and convert your input data to Unicode (e.g., text = data.decode(‘utf-8′)): #!/usr/bin/env python import re text = u’This dog \U0001f602’ print(text) # with emoji emoji_pattern = re.compile(“[” u”\U0001F600-\U0001F64F” # emoticons u”\U0001F300-\U0001F5FF” # symbols & pictographs … Read more
Found a solution: In my unicode I replaced ‘U+‘ by ‘0x‘ Example: replace ‘U+1F60A‘ by ‘0x1F60A‘ This way I got an ‘int’ like int unicode = 0x1F60A; Which can be used with public String getEmojiByUnicode(int unicode){ return new String(Character.toChars(unicode)); } So Textview displays 😊 without Drawable Try it with http://apps.timwhitlock.info/emoji/tables/unicode
What I stumbled upon is the difference between characters, unicode scalars and glyphs. For example, the glyph 👨👨👧👧 consists of 7 unicode scalars: Four emoji characters: 👨👩👧👧 In between each emoji is a special character, which works like character glue; see the specs for more info Another example, the glyph 👌🏿 consists of 2 unicode … Read more
Append the Unicode variation selector character for forcing text, VS15, ︎. This forces the previous character to be rendered as text rather than as an Emoji Symbol. <p>🔒︎</p> Result: 🔒︎ Learn more at: Unicode symbol as text or emoji
If you’re able to, use the _.split() function provided by lodash. From version 4.0 onwards, _.split() is capable of splitting unicode emojis. Using the native .reverse().join(”) to reverse the ‘characters’ should work just fine with emojis containing zero-width joiners function reverse(txt) { return _.split(txt, ”).reverse().join(”); } const text=”Hello world👩🦰👩👩👦👦”; console.log(reverse(text)); <script src=”https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.20/lodash.min.js” integrity=”sha512-90vH1Z83AJY9DmlWa8WkjkV79yfS2n2Oxhsi2dZbIv0nC4E6m5AbH8Nh156kkM7JePmqD6tcZsfad1ueoaovww==” crossorigin=”anonymous”></script>
Instead of blacklisting some elements, how about creating a whitelist of the characters you do wish to keep? This way you don’t need to worry about every new emoji being added. String characterFilter = “[^\\p{L}\\p{M}\\p{N}\\p{P}\\p{Z}\\p{Cf}\\p{Cs}\\s]”; String emotionless = aString.replaceAll(characterFilter,””); So: [\\p{L}\\p{M}\\p{N}\\p{P}\\p{Z}\\p{Cf}\\p{Cs}\\s] is a range representing all numeric (\\p{N}), letter (\\p{L}), mark (\\p{M}), punctuation (\\p{P}), whitespace/separator … Read more
