Skin Tones not supported

Closed this issue · 1 comments

It looks like the Emoji.Emojify method doesn't support skin tones.

Passing "smiley" wrapped in colons to this method returns the unicode character for a smiley as expected.

However, passing the string "smiley" wrapped in quotes with ":skin-tone-6:" appended to it returns 😃:skin-tone-6: (i.e. Smiley unicode character + ":skin-tone-6")

Am I doing something wrong or are skin tones not supported in the current version?

N.B. Please forgive the weird syntax in this issue. When I try to write the strings as they are used, github is converting the colon syntax to emojis which makes it difficult to describe the issue. Hopefully, the above is clear.

Hi!

Thanks for your feedback!

This feature is not supported. Not yet, anyway.

I would like to keep the functionality the same way GitHub renders emoji.
Skin tones is not supported by GitHub yet.

As you have noted, comments like this:
:smiley::skin-tone-6:

Will render like this:
😃:skin-tone-6:

I will wait and see what GitHub will do with this in the future:
github/gemoji#165
