emoji_provenance() reports every version an emoji result depends on:
tidyEmoji itself, the emoji package supplying the reference table, the
Unicode emoji version that table reflects, the size of the detectable emoji
set, and the bundled lexicons. It is meant to be pasted into a methods
section or stored beside a result.
Value
A one-row tibble with columns tidyEmoji, emoji_pkg,
unicode_emoji, n_emoji, sentiment_lexicon, emotion_lexicon and R.
Details
None of these are cosmetic. A glyph released after your emoji package
was built is not detected at all; a lexicon covers a few hundred of the
thousands of emoji that exist; and "we analysed emoji sentiment" without a
lexicon name is not a reproducible statement. See emoji_lexicons() for the
lexicons in detail and emoji_unicode_version() for the Unicode version on
its own.
