Vector helpers: convert emoji to/from names and shortcodes

Small vector-level helpers for ad-hoc use. They do not take a data frame.

Usage

as_emoji_name(x)

as_emoji_shortcode(x)

as_emoji(x)

Arguments

x

A character vector of emoji glyphs (for as_emoji_name, as_emoji_shortcode) or of shortcodes/names (for as_emoji).

Value

A character vector the same length as x.

Details

• as_emoji_name(x) maps emoji glyphs to their Unicode names.

• as_emoji_shortcode(x) maps emoji glyphs to their first shortcode.

• as_emoji(x) maps shortcodes/names to the emoji glyph (emojize).

All three resolve through emoji_key(), so qualified emoji (carrying U+FE0F) and unqualified forms resolve identically. Unmatched inputs return NA.

See also

emoji_to_text(), text_to_emoji() for the data-frame verbs.

Examples

as_emoji_name(c("\U0001f600", "\u2764\ufe0f"))
#> [1] "grinning face" "red heart"    
as_emoji_shortcode(c("\U0001f600", "\u2764\ufe0f"))
#> [1] "grinning" "heart"   
as_emoji(c("grinning", "heart"))
#> [1] "😀" "❤️"
