Support all ZWJ sequences #96

Hi @carlinmack, many thanks for the investigation!
I believe it is simply a unicode data definition problem. For all the unicode definitions we have a hard dependency to
Yes these would be fun ... however I'm a bit hesitant to add even more new todos on our list, especially if they are outside of official unicode and no body has requested them. Happy to add them I you take care of them :) |
|
If they're not displaying correctly, would it not be all emoji in the first list? Or is it possible that some of these are our fault, like the families? |
|
To be honest I don't know:
Let's debug it top down from the data coming.

|
try copy and paste from above and see what emojis show, |

We have baby emoji already so is it just a case of placing the glyphs together? |
|
Yes, but you might have to redesign the Baby emoji to reflect the small size of it in a Family combination and in addition get emojibase-data fixed to pull from it the related Unicode definitions. But I'm not sure whether emojibase-data would want to include it as it seems not to be part of the Unicode standard:
(https://emojipedia.org/family-woman-baby-boy/) If emojibase-data doesn't want to include it ... then I would rather vote currently against it. Too much effort for little gain on the big picture of OpenMoji. IMO more important is the soon upcoming Emoji 13 ... |
|
Yep Emoji 13 is on my radar but thought we'd deal with the font, consistency issues before I open an issue with 100 new unique glyphs haha |
|
I didn't realise microsoft was the only vendor supporting those family combinations! It may be the case that only the sporting ones are "widely" supported and are actually worth implementing - or maybe they're all microsoft specific! I would research but finals week 👨🎓👨🏫📝😥 |

@carlinmack Can we close this issue? It seems nobody is keen to support non-standard ZWJ variants. Plz :) The only ones in doubt are the wrestlers, see discussion in the emojibase repo. |

sure! |
Inspired by #95 we should aim to support all emoji "not listed as RGI (Recommended for General Interchange) by Unicode". https://emojipedia.org/emoji-zwj-sequences/
We should try display the emojis on that page and add the ones that display incorrectly to a listNot sure how valid this is but using the black openmoji font and vscode, it shows ones we support as a single character and others as multiple characters
However we do have a pirate flag emoji so maybe this is also an issue with the font that we haven't realised?
