As of #179, there are two emoji whose short names are not unique;

  • :beetle:, which refers to both 🪲 U+1FAB2 BEETLE and 🐞 U+1F41E LADY BEETLE
  • :man_in_tuxedo:, which refers to both 🤵 U+1F935 MAN IN TUXEDO and the sequence 🤵‍♂️ U+1F935 U+200D U+2642 U+FE0F

This makes doing a direct conversion difficult, as looking up a character by short name now has two possible values. This doesn’t seem to have been the case in any prior version of this dataset. Is this a bug?

fixed on master and will go into next release
