Since Python is known for its versatility, you can perform many operations on emoji using Python.

Printing emojis using Python seems to be difficult but it’s deceptively simple. You can use Unicode characters, CLDR names or Python library emoji to print emojis.

Using Unicode Characters to Print Emoji

Unicode is a universal character encoding standard that assigns a code to every character and symbol in every language in the world. Every emoji has a unique Unicode assigned to it. When using Unicode with Python, replace “+” with “000” from the Unicode. And then prefix the Unicode with “".

For example- U+1F605 will be used as \U0001F605. Here, “+” is replaced with “000” and “" is prefixed with the Unicode.

The above code will give the following output:

Using CLDR Short Names to Print Emoji

CLDR collects short character names and keywords for Emoji characters and sequences. This method is more comfortable and easy to use.

The above code will give the following output:

Using the Emoji Library to Print Emoji

This library makes it easy to integrate emojis with Python programs. But you need to install this library before using it. Make sure you have pip installed on your system. Run the following in the command prompt:

This will install the emoji Python library. Note that to use this library in your Python program, you will have to import the library.

The above code will give the following output:

Extracting All Emojis From the Text

You can easily extract all the emojis from the text using Python. It can be done using regular expression. Run the following command in the command prompt to install the regex library:

re.findall() method is used to find all the emojis from the text.

The following output will be displayed:

Converting Emoji Into Text

You can convert emoji into text using Python’s demoji library. To install the demoji library, run the following command:

After you have installed the demoji library, you’ll have to download data from the Unicode Consortium’s emoji code repository as the emoji list itself is frequently updated and changed. Paste the following code in a Python file and then run it to download the required data.

Finally, use the following code to convert emojis into text.

Output:

Replace Emoji With Its Meaning

If you want to replace emojis with their meaning, you can easily do it using the emoji library. Make sure to install the emoji library using pip before executing the following code.

The above code will give the following output:

Removing Emoji From the Text in Python

You can remove all emojis from the text with the help of regular expressions in Python.

The above code will give the following output:

Make Programming Fun With Emojis

Emojis are now considered an integral part of text communication. Using the power of Python you can perform many operations on them. Get a habit of using emojis in comments, commit messages, etc. to make programming fun.

Both Emoticon and Emoji are now being used extensively in various organisations. You can even make your own emoji to express yourself over text.
