Crate encoji

encoji

Encode a byte buffer into emojis, and decode an emoji string into a byte vector.

Reimplementation of base_emoji including both encoding and decoding.

Example

let bytes = [0x6e, 0x6e, 0x6e, 0xcd];
let emojis = "🔥🔥🔥🚀";

assert_eq!(encoji::to_string(&bytes), emojis);
assert_eq!(encoji::from_string(&emojis)[..], bytes);

Encoding (same as original implementation)

Citing the README:

The emojis used are in emojis.json. There are 843 emojis there, but the converter reads sequences of 8 bits at a time, and so only maps the value to the first 256 of them. To stay consistent with other renderings, make sure you don't change the order of your emojis.json.

Decoding

String is split into graphemes by the unicode-segmentation crate in accordance with the Unicode Standard Annex #29. If the grapheme isn't a mappable emoji it is skipped, else it is converted to a byte.
