BaseEmoji

Encode everything in Emojis! 🙃

BaseEmoji is a binary-to-emoji encoding scheme that represents binary data in a subset of the Unicode Emoji symbols, designed for triggering senior programmers effortlessly. BaseEmoji is heavily influenced by my frustration towards my tech lead that always shares data (base64 encoded) with me.

But why?

• MOCKERY!
• WHY NOT!
• Base64 is not the best scheme to represent and transmit (mostly binary) data in a human-readable way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Features

• Basic encode/decode operations.
• [TODO] Different flavors based on subset of the Unicode Emoji symbols.
• [Contribute] ツ.
