Wow, I missed this huge piece of news in last month: The earliest known set is now from 1988!

(In other words: Emoji predate the reunification of Germany 😲)

Maybe a weird question, but does anybody happen to know a #Windows application that can display #emoji's that runs under #WINE ?

Oh holy frak. It's almost Pride. How did that happen?

Anyway, I have some you're welcome to share.

Want even more for month? Check out any of several collections by @FrazzledBrynn

The only full set of them I've found in the wild are their Queer Butterflies which come in 17 varieties of PNG released under CC0.

Some instances have used individuals from the Pride Pigeon, Pride Alien, and Purple Macaroni Pengs sets. And those aren't even all the ones they have available.

One tip for instance admins who want to use them: don't use the emoji resolution, get the full size ones instead. The emoji resolution may sound fine at 128×128 but it can create problems when scaled again in reactions or MFM.

So, I was looking for the foxxo #emoji set used on fedi.catboy.agency since they're adorable and I wanted to gush about them.

But then I found this other cute emoji set also named foxxo.

You fox lovers are just always eating good, aren't you? ​:neofox_nom_egg:​

Another really cool set of that you can use for month are the Pride Potion set created by @dizzy

Changed my #OpenBSD writing-dedicated box from running #cwm to #i3wm -- I like cwm, but it's still a bit too mousey for my taste.

I also changed all of my fonts (both xterm and i3/i3status) to be bitmapped (the "fixed" font), so everything is looking REALLY crisp.

Maybe I'm getting quite crochety, but at this point, I think I'd much rather have a lower res screen with crisp bitmapped fonts than a crazy high-res screen and vector fonts.

The only thing I'm missing is #emoji. My i3status looks like

@moiety created a set of sets called QueerCats.

Hey, which #ActivityPub app allows an #emoji to be used as a #hashtag?

I had assumed that which were unique to an instance were most likely created by someone on that instance. That's definitely not the case given how few are unique to is-a.wyvern.rip, the solo instance for Volpeon... creator of the original neofox and neocat.

Thanks to a user on Mastodon @glitchcake, there is a programming language known as Emojicode https://www.emojicode.org

Please note, I find this to be the only valid reason to ever use emoji—ever.

I used to think that are for the illiterate.

Then I got addicted to them in Signal and Matrix.

Now I can't wait for clients to implement them. Why is this still experimental after 5 years, @larma ?

Suxestión de Emojis en Heliboard

facer que apareza na barra de suxestións o emoji(s) relacionado coa palabra que estamos a escribir

Requerimentos

  • Ir a Axustes, Ortografía, Suxestións e marcar a opción Mostrar suxestións de corrección.

Optativo, e recomendo, desactivar Corrección Automática.

Hai dous métodos, complementarios:

Método 1

Máis lento inicialmente pero en realidade abonda para o 99% dos casos, porque repetimos sempre os mesmos emojis. Se non sabes inglés pois é o método recomendado.

  • Imos a Axustes > Ortografía > Dicionario Peroal
  • Seleccionamos o Galego (ou Para todos os idiomas, da igual)
  • Abre unha pantalla onde abaixo prememos en Engadir Unha Palabra +
  • Onde pon Escribe unha palabra engadimos o emoji que queremos (co teclado). Exemplo: ☁️
  • En Atallo, engadimos a "clave" ou "palabra" que fará que se mostre a suxestión. Exemplo: "nub". Algo que non sexa moi restrictivo, así vale para nube, nubrado, nubosidade, cuberto, ...

e xa estaría! Imos a escribir algo nun cadro de texto de calquera aplicación e se escribimos "nub" veremos que na barra de suxestións aparece

Engades á man esa ducia de emojis que usas con frecuencia e xa estaría.

Método 2

engadimos o dicionario inglés experimental, que polo visto funciona mellor neso de suxerir emojis (eu non probei cos dous, fun directo a este).

podes engadir o de castelán se queres ou te apañas mellor que co de inglés, pero igual te lía máis, ti verás.

  • En _Idiomas e Disposicións*: activar o Galego e premer no seu nome para a) en Escritura en varios idiomas b) engadir o Inglés (ou o Castelán)

para que apareza a suxestión deberemos escribir a palabra en inglés que está relacionada co emoji. No exemplo proposto: "cloud"

Método 3 (hipotético)

que alguén teña xa un dicionario persoal feito e cho envíe para instalar 😬


isto podería ser unha publicación no blog 🤷‍♂️ ou un vídeo de peertube. Nah! 😅

Which of these do you think is the most complex #Emoji?
As in, which has the most number of discrete codepoints?

Where you can (and can't) use Emoji in PHP
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/04/where-you-can-and-cant-use-emoji-in-php/

I was noodling around in PHP the other day and discovered that this works:

<?php$🍞 = "bread";echo "Some delicious " . $🍞;

I mean, there's no reason why it shouldn't work. An emoji is just a Unicode character (OK, not just a character - but we'll get on to that), so it should be fine to use anywhere.

Emoji work perfectly well as function names:

function 😺🐶() {   echo "catdog!";}😺🐶();

Definitions:

define( "❓", "huh?" );echo ❓;

And, well, pretty much everywhere:

class 🦜{    public int $🐦;    public ?string $🦃;    public function __construct(int $🐦, ?string $🦃)    {        $this->🐦 = $🐦;        $this->🦃 = $🦃;    }}$🐓 = new 🦜(1234, "birb");echo $🐓->🐦;

How about namespaces? Yup!

namespace 😜;class 😉 {    public function 😘() {        echo "Wink!";    }}use 😜😉;$😊 = new 😉();$😊->😘();

Even moderately complex Unicode sequences work:

echo <<<🏳️‍🌈Unicode is magic!🏳️‍🌈;

I've written before about the Quirks and Limitations of Emoji Flags. The humble 🏳️‍🌈 is actually the sequence U+1F3F3 (white flag), U+FE0F (Variation Selector 16), U+200D (Zero Width Joiner), U+1F308 (Rainbow).

Take a complex emoji like "Female Astronaut with Medium Dark Skin Tone" - 🧑🏾‍🚀 - that also works!

$🧑🏾‍🚀 = 1;$👷🏻‍♂️ = 2;echo $🧑🏾‍🚀 + $👷🏻‍♂️;

Probable the most complex emoji has 10 different codepoints! It looks like this - 🧑🏾‍❤️‍💋‍🧑🏻

And it works!

$🧑🏾‍❤️‍💋‍🧑🏻 = "Kiss Kiss. Bang Bang!";echo $🧑🏾‍❤️‍💋‍🧑🏻[-1];

There are some emoji which don't work;

$5️⃣ = "five";

The 5️⃣ emoji is U+0035 (Digit Five), U+FE0F (Variation Selector 16), U+20E3 (Combining Enclosing Keycap). PHP doesn't allow variables to start with digits, so it craps out with PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected integer "5", expecting variable or "{" or "$" in php shell code on line 1

You also can't use "punctuation" emoji as though they were normal characters:

echo 5 ❗= 6;

And, while not strictly emoji, you can't use mathematical symbols:

echo 5 ≤ 6;

So, there you have it. Is this useful? Well, probably. It is easy to get lost in a sea of text - so little pictograms can make it easier to see what you're doing. If the basic ASCII characters aren't part of your native language, perhaps it is useful to make use of the full range of Unicode.

Does your favourite programming language support Emoji?
