// get the ascii equivalent of an emoji

Emoji.Image(":wink:"); // <img class="emoji" alt="😉" title=":wink:" src="/emoji/1f609.png" />

// get the raw unicode equivalent for an emoji shortcode
Emoji.Raw(":smiley:"); // 😃

// get the shortcode for a raw unicode string
Emoji.Shortcode("😃"); // :smiley:

// replace emoji shortcodes and raw unicode strings with their ascii equivalents
Emoji.Asciify("😉 :wink:"); // ;) ;)

// replace emoji shortcodes with raw unicode strings.
Emoji.Emojify("it's raining :cat:s and :dog:s!"); // it's raining 🐱s and 🐶s!

// replace raw unicode strings with emoji shortcodes
Emoji.Demojify("it's raining 🐱s and 🐶s!"); // it's raining :cat:s and :dog:s!

// replace emoji shortcodes and raw unicode strings with <img> tags

Notes

The full list of emoji is located in Emoji.generated.cs and was generated from emoji.json, which was originally downloaded from https://github.com/joypixels/emoji-toolkit/blob/master/emoji.json.

To re-generate the file execute dotnet run from the \src\Generator folder:

\src\Generator> dotnet run

Release checklist

1. Update VersionPrefix in Directory.build.props.
2. Commit and push the changes.
3. Create a release and tag it with the version number. This triggers publish.yml which publishes a nuget package to https://www.nuget.org/.
