emojicon

Preprocessing of Unicode Emoji definitions and annotations for FlorisBoard

Unicode provides the CLDR repository (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr), which is used by this tool to parse and build the necessary emoji mappings for the emoji palette within the keyboard UI. All files within this project (source and data) are expected to be properly encoded in UTF-8.

Usage

./emojicon.py <action> [<options...>]

To use this tool, make sure you have Python 3.10 or newer installed in your system.

Actions

build <cldr_version> <lang_code>
    Builds the emoji mapping file for specified language. If no language code
    is specified or 'root' is passed, all names and keywords will be left empty
    and the generated file name is 'root.txt' in the output dir.

buildall <cldr_version>
    Builds the emoji mapping files for all languages, including root.

clean
    Removes the output directory and all built files.
