Unicode Standard

Closed this issue ยท 11 comments

First, let me thank you for the effort in creating that project!
Perhaps you could tell the standard you are using for creating the ttf.
I'm using 12.1 https://unicode.org/Public/emoji/12.1/emoji-test.txt and there I noticed some missing icons like the medical emoji. Is there any way you could include it or even update the standard to a more recent one (standard 12 is from 2018)?
You can find an overview of all the standards here https://unicode.org/Public/emoji/

Hi @michaelrampl, different vendors not always fully follow Unicode releases. iOS 14.6 mostly supports Emoji 13.1 but has some (rather inexplicable) exceptions, like the female and male signs, and apparently also the medical symbol emoji, which stopped being supported around iOS 10.3.

I don't see a reason why we wouldn't add it though. We could either add the iOS 10.3 version or the more flashy WhatsApp one, like we did with the female and male signs (see #11 (comment)). Personally, I am more inclined to the latter.

@michaelrampl, @samuelngs thoughts?

In my (very personal) opinion, the whatsapp one looks better but I would be very fine with both of them.
So basically you are generating the font out of all those png files right? (which is why the font is also rather big compared to most other fonts)

@michaelrampl yeah that's right :)

Furthermore, you just take them from emojipedia.org? In that case I could create a PR on and letting you guys review it.

dmlls commented

@michaelrampl adding it to png/160 and compiling should be it.

Yes it works, should I create a PR?

dmlls commented

Sure, you can go ahead :)

Pushed with #14

Thanks @michaelrampl and @dmlls for your hard work! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
