Question

Multi character emoji's with fitzpatrick modifier is parsed as multiple emojis

Opened this issue 5 years ago · 1 comments

Passing an emoji like "👩🏽‍⚖️" to EmojiParser.extractEmojis() will parse it as two emoji's 👩🏾 ⚖️
It looks like EmojiParser.getNextUnicodeCandidate does not take the fitzpatrick into account when trying to find the longest match.

Faced a similar issue: emoji 👨🏾‍🦳 (Man: White Hair) is parsed incorrectly. Hair tone is not handled, at the same time skin tone is parsed correctly.
