a tool & repo for working on emoji characters in 8x8 format. Brought to you (so far) by @rwaldron & yours truly.
Go to jorydotcom.github.io/matrix-emoji to draw 8x8 Matrix fonts and characters, and save the hex values. Improvements coming - PRs and issues welcome on the gh-pages branch.
There are 1281 emojis in the unicode standard. I'm trying to make as many of these as possible work in the 8x8 matrix display format for imminent consumption by the Johnny-Five robotics programming library, and for eventual consumption by other systems. It's a work in progress to figure out how to make this a more efficient work in progress, but please do let me know if you want to help because you ❤️ emojis :D
