Convert emoji in HTML to fallback images, alt text, title text, and aria labels.
Project description
Emojificate is a Python implementation of a concept of using fallback images, alt text, title text and aria labels to represent emoji in HTML, a more accessible method than browser defaults.
Installation
emojificate is available on pypi:
pip install emojificate
Usage
To convert a string from the command line:
$ python3 -m emojificate "I 💜 emoji 😊" I <img src="https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/v/12.1.4/72x72/1f49c.png" alt="💜" title="Purple Heart" aria-label="Emoji: Purple Heart"> emoji <img src="https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/v/12.1.4/72x72/1f60a.png" alt="😊" title="Smiling Face With Smiling Eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling Face With Smiling Eyes">
Or, if you’ve got a Django project, put emojificate into your INSTALLED_APPS, and then use the following in a template:
{% load emojificate %} This is some {{ user_content|emojificate }} that has emoji in it. {% emojified %} This is some template content that 💜 emoji as well. {% endemojified %}
Implementation
TL;DR: Take a string, split it into tokens, and if a token is emoji, process it into a nice format.
As of 0.4.0, string-splitting is now handled by grapheme.
Given a list of tokens, we can leverage the native unicodedata to:
see if a token is a unicode Symbol (an emoji)
get the codepoint for the emoji, and
get the name of the emoji.
If a token is a grapheme and not a character, there won’t be a record of what it is in unicodedata. In that case emojificate defaults to a human-readable version of the shortcode provided by emoji.
From there, we construct an <img> replacement for the emoji:
Use images from twemoji, Twitter’s emoji set (if the URL exists)
Have an alt parameter containing the original emoji. This allows for copying-pasting.
Use the name of the emoji in the title parameter. This allows for hover-tooltips.
Add an aria-label for screen-reader accessibility.

Ruby
require 'gemoji'
def cdn

end
def emojificate(string)
string.split("").each do |s|
e = Emoji.find_by_unicode(s)
if e then
u = s.ord.to_s(16) # e.g. 1f431
d = e.description # e.g. "cat face"
img = "<img src=\"#{cdn}/#{u}.png\" alt=\"#{s}\" title=\"#{d}\" aria-label=\"Emoji: #{d}\">"
print img
else
print s
end
end
end
