discord-emoji

A crate for parsing emojis from Discord.

Examples

Find the unicode surrogates for a given emoji name

fn main() {
    let emoji = discord_emoji::lookup("tm").unwrap();
    assert_eq!(emoji, "™️");
    /// Support diversity surrogate combinations
    let emoji = discord_emoji::lookup("muscle_tone1").unwrap();
    assert_eq!(emoji, "💪🏻");
}

Emoji list

The discord_emojis.json file is extracted from the Discord client source code. Compared to other emoji lists it contains a number of different entries that map to a single emoji as well as a number of recent Unicode additions that may not be widely included in fonts.

Finding the emoji list

The easiest way of finding the emoji list in the discord client is to open https://discord.com/channels/@me in Chrome (Firefox search does not seem to work), open dev-tools, reload the page, open the global search with ctrl+shift+f and search for an emoji (either the actual Unicode surrogate, or a unique name like muscle_tone). The json object may be embedded in a js file, in which case it should just be manually extracted and formatted with jq.
