Information mismatching with Emojipedia

Open Bricklou opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I tried to use this repo to parse all the information about emojis from noto-emoji-font, but the JSON doesn't seem right. Some emojis don't match with information found on Emojipedia.

In example:

  • this emoji :slightly_frowning_face: is named slightly frowning in Emojipedia, but in the JSON it is frown
  • and this emoji :confused: is named confused in Emojipedia, but in the JSON it is slightly frowning.

Is it done on purpose, or is this a mistake ?

I would use Unicode testfiles as the source of truth and that gives: 🙁 E1.0 slightly frowning face 😕 E1.0 confused face

Unicode.org proposes this repo unicode-org/cldr-json with many JSON files that can be used to process all the necessary information. This would be simpler to use.

There is also this repo unicode-org/cldr which does the same thing but in XML (i would rather recommend the JSON repo).
