Getting started

The Emoji model can be used to parse a bunch of emoji-specific information, for instance:

Emoji("👍").unicodeIdentifier       // \\N{THUMBS UP SIGN}
Emoji("🚀").unicodeIdentifier       // \\N{ROCKET}
Emoji("👍").unicodeName             // Thumbs Up Sign
Emoji("👍🏿").unicodeName             // Thumbs Up Sign
Emoji("🚀").unicodeName             // Rocket
Emoji("😀").localizedName           // Grinning Face
Emoji("😀").localizedName(in: .swedish)  // Leende Ansikte
Emoji("👍").hasSkinToneVariants     // true
Emoji("🚀").hasSkinToneVariants     // false
Emoji("👍🏿").neutralSkinToneVariant  // 👍
Emoji("👍").skinToneVariants        // 👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

The EmojiCategory enum defines standard and custom categories and their emojis, for instance:

EmojiCategory.smileysAndPeopleChars.emojis // 😀😃😄...
EmojiCategory.animalsAndNatureChars.emojis // 🐶🐱🐭...
EmojiCategory.foodAndDrinkChars.emojis     // 🍏🍎🍐...

The EmojiVersion enum defines Emoji versions and the emojis they introduced, for instance:

EmojiVersion.v15_1.emojis // 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↔️👩‍🦽‍➡️...
EmojiVersion.v15.emojis   // 🫨🫸🫷
EmojiVersion.v14.emojis   // 🫠🫢🫣
