Python Emoji Module with Examples

/ Python / By

People nowadays communicate their emotions with emojis rather than extended lengths of text. Emojis have become an important partĀ of our everyday communication with one another.

Emoji Module:

In Python, we may print the Emojis in a number of ways. They are:

printing Emojis with Unicodes, CLDR names, and the emoji module.

UsingUnicodes:

Every emoji is assigned a Unicode code.

Replace “+” with “000” in the list of Unicodes. For example, “U+1F600” will become “U0001F600,” with the Unicode prefixed by “\” and printed.

Emojis have a CLDR short name that can be utilized as well.

# Print the grinning face emoji
print("\U0001f600")
 
#  grinning squinting face emoji
print("\U0001F606")
print("\U0001F649")
# Print the rolling on the floor laughing emoji
print("\U0001F923")

Output:

????
????
????
????

Using CLDR short name:

# Print the grinning face emoji
print("\N{grinning face}")
 
# Print the slightly smiling face emoji
print("\N{slightly smiling face}")
 
# Print the winking face emoji
print("\N{winking face}")

Output:

????
????
????

Using emoji Module:

Before starting, install the emoji Module as shown below:

pip install emoji

emojize() Method:

The CLDR short name must be passed as a parameter to the emojize() method. The relevant emoji is then returned. In the CLDR short name, replace the spaces with underscores.

The emojize() method takes as a parameter the name of the emoji enclosed in a colon (:).

Example:

Approach:

  • Import emoji module using the import keyword.
  • Pass some random emoji name to the emojize() function and print it.
  • Similarly, print the other emojis.
  • The Exit of the Program.

Below is the implementation:

# Import emoji module using the import keyword.
import emoji
# Pass some random emoji name to the emojize() function and print it.
print(emoji.emojize(":thinking_face:"))
# Similarly print the other emoji's
print(emoji.emojize(":zany_face:"))
print(emoji.emojize(":zipper-mouth_face:"))

Output:

????
???? 
????

demojize() function:

It is a function that converts the emoji given into its CLDR short name.

Approach:

Below is the implementation:

# Import emoji module using the import keyword.
import emoji
# Pass some random emoji to the demojize() function to get the CLDR short name 
# of the emoji given and print it.
print(emoji.demojize("????"))
# Similarly print the other emoji's CLDR short name 
print(emoji.demojize("????"))
print(emoji.demojize("????"))

Output:

:thinking_face: 
:zany_face: 
:zipper-mouth_face:
