symjoy 2.0.0

The unicode_symbols package is designed to simplify the use of Unicode characters in Python projects. Whether you need emojis for chat applications, symbols for documentation, mathematical symbols for calculations, currency symbols for finance apps, or miscellaneous icons for fun, this package has you covered.

Symjoy

symjoy is a comprehensive Python package providing easy access to Unicode characters, including emojis, symbols, arrows, mathematical symbols, currency signs, and miscellaneous icons. Perfect for chat apps, games, educational tools, financial apps, or any Python project requiring Unicode characters.

Version 2.x introduces a clean, discoverable API while maintaining backward compatibility with version 1.x.

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install symjoy

Usage

1. Quick Start (v2 API)

from symjoy import emoji, symbols, arrows, math, currency, misc, search

print(emoji.get("smile"))      # 😄
print(symbols.get("heart"))    # ♥
print(arrows.get("right"))     # →
print(math.get("pi"))          # π
print(currency.get("rupee"))   # ₹
print(misc.get("sun"))         # ☀

print(emoji.random())          # random emoji

2. Category APIs

Each category exposes the same interface:

get(name)      -> str | None
random()       -> str
list()         -> list[str]
items()        -> dict[str, str]

Example

from symjoy import emoji

emoji.list()
emoji.items()

3. Global Search

Search across all categories:

from symjoy import search

results = search("heart")

Expected results:

[
  {
    "name": "heart",
    "char": "♥",
    "category": "symbols",
    "unicode": "U+2665"
  }
]

4. Backward Compatibility (v1.x)

Version 2.x still supports v1-style access:

from symjoy import emojis
print(emojis["smile"])

⚠️ This usage is deprecated and will be removed in symjoy 3.0.0.
