emojibase 0.0.2

Encode any data to emojis

BaseEmoji

BaseEmoji is a python module for encoding any ASCII string or byte object into emoticons and back. It can be used to hide information in text conversations, e.g. chat or twitter or to display hashes in a graphica/more comparable way.
It supports two codecs: anybase and group256. This module is also the reference implementation of these two codecs.

Usage

anybase

anybase is a BaseEmoji codec which works by converting the input to the base of the amount of emojis, set by the filter.

import BaseEmoji

e = BaseEmoji.anybase()
e.encode('giv mee emojiiis'.encode())
# ✴️🥎🐑⛈️🈺🚉‭⚕️🚅🇵🇪🥏🥇📍

e.decode('✴️🥎🐑⛈️🈺🚉‭⚕️🚅🇵🇪🥏🥇📍').decode('ascii')
# giv mee emojiiis

group256

This codec distributes all (filtered) emojis to 256 groups. With this, it can encode any ASCII string to emojis.

import BaseEmoji

e = BaseEmoji.group256()
e.encode('giv mee emojiiis')
# 😸😻💖🤨😿🤖🥔🐢🕢🧅🙈😼🥒🕤💸💌

e.decode('😸😻💖🤨😿🤖🥔🐢🕢🧅🙈😼🥒🕤💸💌')
# giv mee emojiiis

Filters

There are currently three filter options for changing the emojis for en/decoding:

• Groups (e.g. flags)
• Skin Tone Support
• Unicode Version

e.set_filter(['Symbols'], False, 12.0)
e.encode('giv mee symbol emojiiis'.encode())
# 📛⭕✳️⬅️✖️⚜️⚜️⬅️➰‼️✖️⚕️❎✔️⬅️⚜️✖️❎✅⭕⭕⭕➰

e.get_groups()
# {'Smileys & Emotion', 'Travel & Places', 'Activities', 'Flags', 'Animals & Nature', 'Symbols', 'People & Body', 'Objects', 'Food & Drink'}

Roadmap

• Add filter options to encoded data for automatic decoding
