Package Exports

@qit.tools/unicode-emoji-json-lite
@qit.tools/unicode-emoji-json-lite/data-by-emoji-lite.json

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@qit.tools/unicode-emoji-json-lite) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Unicode Emoji JSON Lite

This 📚 library provides a 🪶 lightweight version of the unicode-emoji-json library. Essentially, this library simplifies JSON files by using ready-made JSON from the unicode-emoji-json library.

RGI only

This data does not contain minimally-qualified and unqualified emoji.

RGI: Recommended for General Interchange. A subset of emojis which is likely to be widely supported across multiple platforms.

Minimally-qualified or unqualified emoji zwj sequences may be handled in the same way as their fully-qualified forms; the choice is up to the implementation.

Full description can be found at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/.

To change the skin tone using JavaScript, use our library @qit.tools/skin-tone.

📝 Details

Skin tone variations

Emoji's skin tone variations are consolidated into one base entry, with a tone flag on them.

This means one entry of 👋 represents its 5 variations– 👋🏻, 👋🏼, 👋🏽, 👋🏾, 👋🏿; while raw unicode data list them as individual emoji entries.

The tone flag is present where needed; in other cases, it remains undefined to avoid creating a negative flag.
