Not predicting sentiment of emoticons correctly

[Rishav09]

It is not predicting inconsistent results on emoticons.For instance, when I am passing this as '🙂' an argument, it is correctly predicting the outcome but on using same emoticons multiple times '🙂🙂',
it is giving neutral results.Similarly ,the same issue is arising in different cases of other emoji and sometimes ,it is not even detecting the single emoji too.

@cjhutto I am also facing the issue. Could you tell why is it happening ?

The analyzer splits up the input by whitespace and looks for emoji among those tokens. So when it encounters a token like two smiling faces in a row, it will look for the token containing both faces in the emoji lexicon, fail to find it, and carry on. A fix for this would be to search for emoji on a character by character basis.

Does 😃 😃 mean the same thing as 😃 ?

[ckw017]

I feel like it should mean the same thing as if ":)" would be to ":) :)"

@ddugovic No, it doesn't. 😃 😃 have more positive compound score than 😃 .
@ckw017 Yes, I realised, emoji's needs to be space separated for analyser to work.
