This is a PHP library for dealing with Emoji, allowing you to convert between various native formats and displaying them using HTML.
You can read more about it and see a demo here: http://www.iamcal.com/emoji-in-web-apps/
The data this library is based on comes from another GitHub project: https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data
<?php
include('emoji.php');
# when you recieve text from a mobile device, convert it
# to the unified format.
$data = emoji_docomo_to_unified($data); # DoCoMo devices
$data = emoji_kddi_to_unified($data); # KDDI & Au devices
$data = emoji_softbank_to_unified($data); # Softbank & pre-iOS6 Apple devices
$data = emoji_google_to_unified($data); # Google Android devices
# when sending data back to mobile devices, you can
# convert back to their native format.
$data = emoji_unified_docomo($data); # DoCoMo devices
$data = emoji_unified_kddi($data); # KDDI & Au devices
$data = emoji_unified_softbank($data); # Softbank & pre-iOS6 Apple devices
$data = emoji_unified_google($data); # Google Android devices
# when displaying data to anyone else, you can use HTML
# to format the emoji.
$data = emoji_unified_to_html($data);
# if you want to use an editor(i.e:wysiwyg) to create the content,
# you can use html_to_unified to store the unified value.
$data = emoji_html_to_unified(emoji_unified_to_html($data));
When using the HTML format, you'll also need to include the emoji.css file, which points
to the emoji.png image.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This library currently only deals with UTF-8. If your source data is JIS or Shift-JIS, you're out of luck for the moment.
