Emot

Yet another emoji handler. It contains 870 emojis with its name and codepoint(but not contains emoji fonts or images). All names of emojis are from Emoji cheat sheet for Campfire and GitHub.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'emot'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install emot

With Mac Terminal, emot command works as follows;

% emot show sunflower # display the emoji with its codepoint.

% emot show  # display all named emojis with its names and codepoints.

% emot icons # display all emoji icons.

% emot names # display available names for emojis.

See emot help for more info.

With Ruby,

require 'emot'

Emot.icon(:sunflower) # => 🌻

Emot.unicode(:sunflower) # => "U+1F33B"

Also, you can get Symbol#~ for emoji output.

require "emot"

puts ~:smile
puts ~:beginner
puts ~:shit
puts ~:jack_o_lantern
puts ~:'+1'
puts ~:"I broken_heart you!"
puts ~:"The pencil is mightier than gun"
puts ~:"dango is better than sunflower"
puts ~:"疲れたら beer を飲もう！"
puts ~:"fish + hocho => sushi"
puts ~:".fish + .hocho => sushi" # escape emoji with prefix dot.

jugyo/named_emoji inspired me to create emot.

I built the mapping table of emoji name and unicode using github/gemoji.

Thank you!
