i love emoji

i love how broken it is

basically, because computers, we have

Three main encoding types. YOu might have heard of these

Flexible, Variable

you don't have to use all the other bits Added benefit: it's directly compatible with ASCII bit for bit

The tags on the top note how many more to expect 0 at start is none 11 at start is one more (2 total) 111 is two more

\u0041

\u3042

\u0045

\u0301

\u0045\u0341

English, Latin-character based languages, cyrliic, chinese

But the japense arne't happy

These japanese had mobile phones with these little pictures, and they wanted them in unicode

Shigetaka Kurita SHI-GE-TA-KA KU RI TA 12x12 pixels Some original use on pagers Weather reports directions to local business and selling tickets to things BRAND ENGAGEMENT

with help of google unicode 6 got emoji and then nothing happened.

i iOS 2, 3 in Japan Gets emoji then they have it as an option in the iOS 5 US version the first verison with emoji If it supports emoji,it will support 6 After this, adoption rates plummet Yosemite won't support anything above 6

Levitating here because webdings Wingdings and webdings compatitbility because missing data

Unicode 8 2015

If you can't see these: Upgrade. You get new emoji ... and security patches

\u1F926\u1F3FE

\u1F926 \u1F3FE

\u1F487

\u1F487   \u2640

\u1F487   \u2642

\u1F487\u2642

\u1F468\u2764\u1F468

\u1F468 \u2764 \u1F468

 

Speaking of those flags from earlier, they work in a similar way to the facepalm emoji

\u1F1FA\u1F1F8

\u1F1FA \u1F1F8

$ python
>>> import unicodedata
>>> unicodedata.name("")

$ gem install gemoji
$ irb
> require 'gemoji'
> g = Emoji.find_by_unicode("")
> g.description
"gem stone"
> Emoji.find_by_name("gem stone").raw
=> ""
$ irb
> puts "\u{1f48e}"
=> 
> "".ord.to_s(16)
=> "1f48e"

$ irb
>  = "gem"

this is valud. You can have emoji variables

$ irb
>  = "gem"
> puts "You are a " +  + "!"
=> You are a gem!

asd

php -a
php > echo IntlChar::charName('');
ELEPHANT
php -a
php > $ = "elephant"
php > echo "Baby " . $ . " walk"
Baby elephant walk

Icecream == frozen variable

 

CAUTION

Never use   to compare strings.

Use    instead.

Emojicode

here's where it gets (more) complicated

I posit that the unicode adoption, particularly the graphics and implementations was a bit rushed. and this has been depremental to emoji Especially with the original android adoption

  >>> unicodedata.name("")
  'YELLOW HEART'

Yellow Heart This is the Apple version Here's what Android went with.

Can you spot the problem? Let me flip them

This is aussie traffic lights

We can have fun with these differences across platforms

 

The Power and Responsibility

of Unicode Adoption

"The power and responsibility of UNicode adoption" I first gave it at this very meetup in March last year. I know right? It sounds like a proper technical talk, but it's actually me just yelling about emoji and stuff Thing is, that's not the name

The Power and Responsibility

of Unicode Adoption

this is the name. it has emoji in the title This has caused me all sorts of fun when trying to propose and present at conferences

This is the full title of my talk They appear on digitial displays on occassion This one is running Windows 8 How can I tell? Because ot the emoji

this is face with cold sweat. With so many variations, it's easy to pick up exactly what OS is being run

For example, if you send an emoji to a person who has fitnit notifications, you can work out exactly the operating system, which is Android 4.3. Now, it might be a custom version, but at it's base it's android 4.3 based on this introspection

It's not just issues across platforms. Intra-platform miscommunication grinning face w/smiling eyes vs grimmace Scientific Paper “Blissfully happy” or “ready to fight”: Varying Interpretations of Emoji University of Minnesota

so how do emoji get approved

Compatibility - Cowboy added to compat with Yahoo messenger

Completeness - they didnt have the full zodiac set until 8.0 when 5 were added (including scorpio)

Frequently requested

some things that don't count

Overly specific Can't have a manhattan or a long island

no logos or brands But these are a watch, headphones, a mobile and a desktop and in no way an iWatch, Earbuds, an iPhone and an iMac. Nope.

fads, memes, etc.

As new emoji are brought in older systems will be outdated

Mojibake

This extends to just normal characters too, not just emoji We can have fun breaking things JP: mo-ji-ba-ke

Surprisingly enough, this works

So how do you get the input in?

Apple input Control CMD Space

 

Tom Scott Hardware keyboard x 14 + LUA script + Autohotkey

 

Also Emojili - a hack as a joke, but they were approched by VCs They had an iphone and android app Electromagnetic field talk about the fun they had trying to create this bodge

In the webspace, you have a few options

some websites have panels

Twitter, Instagram 1, 2

but a workaround for having a visual input mechanism is shortcodes But they're a psudostandard

Shortcodes Slack: Searchable if they are native auto convert from emoji codepoints to emoticons Github: shortcodes, no search, autocomplete only. Django-emoji is an app for Django that reports to do this

HipChat uses brackets instead

Cross-platform incompatibility

who here is familiar with slack

:partyparrot:

and this? partyparrrot is not an emoji

:shipit:

so is github it's an emoticon

on that note, please make automatically changing arbitaary text to emoji optional please let me disable autocorrect

automatically overexaggerating

Reading things back again For mobile you can mostly assume platform emoji, with sme exceptions

On the web,you have complete control You can control the entire system You can make it work You can make it display your own emoji, or use a common one, like Emoji One

If i might make a suggestion if you have to do this kind of thing

Fall Back Don't rely on system emoji for the web. It's unreliable, and exclusionary You could try and detect if the emoji won't work via the User Agent, or Just serve your own emoji graphs Yes, it's not the best way to get things done, but

glasnt.com/unicode-test

Actual Emoji One from every release of unicode from 1993 - 2016 Chrome, Firefox, Safari evergreen all on el cap : none of them look the same

twemoji.js

Wordpress.com uses this. javascript front end change emoji to fallback images only

Alt - Highlight Have the unicode character as the alt Allows copy and pasting

Tooltip - Mouse Over Have the proper description there, the standard Alt Text does not have the same functionality as Tool Tips You can use this to your own advantage NEW Twitter implements all these on the web As long as you are using a browser that runs javascript and can display images, Twitter will work every emoji.

Think of it in terms of web accessibilty At the very least, have images that are distinct and visible little 12x12 don't work Use vector graphs where possible - Apple doesnt Where you can, allow the images to be bigger Twitter DM and Slack message - if only emoji, they're display bigger

pip install emojificate

TIP for general use

<meta charset="utf-8">

By default, html4 does not use unicode

The future

emojipedia.org

emojipedia.org

I know right? mind. blown.

which is also a candidate.

recommendations in Unicde10 include updating some of the glyphs to conform including the sweat drop character

emojipedia.org

also, the 2017 update will include a third base for people, being gender neutral. Which should allow for all the professions and people to have a version that not's a man or a woman

 

updates

windows 8 to windows 10

updates in the creators update

Emojione have also updated, now with a premoum version They're updated a bunch of things, including the Owl R.i.P. Argle Owl

on top of all the other gender mods

but what about more combinations?

"Already doable [...] without the need for a new character."

‐ Mark Davis, Unicode Consortium President & Co-founder

but what about the partyy parrot? Well... there are serveral birds, but no "tropical bird" You're welcome. But that was last November, since then, they've literally added more exclusion factors, including

I submitted a proposal to fix this issue.

Exclusion factor K: Faulty Comparison. "the emoji dog and poodle, and two type of camel, do not justify adding different varieties of the same kind of animal"

the takeaways

There's a lot of power in speech Emoji are an additional communication Don't assume others will know what you're talking about without explaination

Implement responsibly Think about accessibility

And have fun~
