Unicode9

[jonathanwiesel]

This introduces the new unicode 9 definitions and assets.

Some side notes about this pull request:

• The following definitions do not have a moji property (they are part of the unicode set but do not represent an emoji per se; yet image assets have been made so I decided to include them).

asterisk_symbol
pound_symbol
digit_zero
digit_one
digit_two
digit_three
digit_four
digit_five
digit_six
digit_seven
digit_eight
digit_nine

• New category regional has been added, having regional indicators, for example:

{
  "regional_indicator_a": {
    "unicode": "1F1E6",
    "unicode_alternates": [],
    "name": "regional indicator symbol letter a",
    "shortname": ":regional_indicator_a:",
    "category": "regional",
    "aliases": [],
    "aliases_ascii": [],
    "keywords": [],
    "moji": "🇦"
  }
}

This resolves #10.

Edit:
Also a breaking change is introduced since a new egg definition is included, now corresponding to the unicode 1F95A, former egg (1F373) definition has been renamed to cooking. This can also be seen in the source (joypixels/emojione#284)

It looks like you should just drop support for Ruby 1.9

[connorshea]

Looks good to me, only question is: what is the objects_symbols category for?

[connorshea]

Also travel_places vs. travel?

Things listed as people that aren't:

• athletic_shoe
• bikini
• boot
• briefcase
• dark_sunglasses
• dolls
• dress
• high_heel
• jeans
• closed_umbrella
• eyeglasses
• necktie
• mans_shoe
• kimono
• footprints
• handbag
• mortar_board

Should I report these to EmojiOne?

Yep, just noticed that json package was updated to v2.0.1 and now requires ruby >= v2.0.
Will remove it from the .travil.yml and list it as a breaking change.

Looks good to me, only question is: what is the objects_symbols category for?

It seems all objects_symbols definitions have been removed from EmojiOne in the latest release for some reason.

Also travel_places vs. travel?

Like the previous, for some reason they removed this ones (travel_places) too.

Things listed as people that aren't

It seems this is a problem in the source repo's definition file also. Will need to fix their categorization to bring it here.

Looks like most issues are related to the source repo. Will be better to clear it with them and work a fix according to what's their opinion. So yeah, if you don't mind, could you please report these to the source?

[connorshea]

@jonathanwiesel will do :)

[connorshea]

@jonathanwiesel would it be possible to add a toggle that would enable/disable the non-Unicode-official emoji? I really don't like the idea of moving away from the Unicode standard.

(Should I open an issue for that?)

[jonathanwiesel]

@connorshea which ones are you referring to?

[connorshea]

@jonathanwiesel oh I misunderstood what you meant by the lack of moji property, nevermind!

@connorshea I just noticed that, even when it doesn't make much sense, if you look into emoji keyboards and emojipedia, you'll see that those emoji actually belong to the people category (Except for dolls that is correctly placed on the objects category, I imagine it was a mistake).

[jonathanwiesel]

@connorshea so I guess it's not an actual issue since the emoji standard indeed categorizes those emoji in the people category.

Still, I'll wait a while longer for an action on the extra categories EmojiOne seem to have added then removed again. If no anser comes around I think the better would be to remove them since they are not actually part of emoji keyboards. The same can apply to the regional category and those digit... mentioned in the initial comment of this PR

[jonathanwiesel]

Following what has been said in joypixels/emojione#299, definitions under travel_places and objects_symbols should not be included. Will remove.

Also, following emoji standardisation, will remove regional "emoji" since they aren't really emoji. Same goes for asterisk_symbol, pound_symbol and digit_....

[connorshea]

I wonder if there's any way to organize these in a similar way to iOS, since it makes a lot more sense when the people are all together and then the accessories/clothing are all together, even if everything is in the same overall category.

Reminder to remove JRuby 1.9 btw

@connorshea Indeed I could implement the emoji order property for definitions, this is present in the source (never checked the order integrity however). Could be a great future feature.

@connorshea thanks for the reminder. I forgot about JRuby.
