This module extends the character classes provided by the string
standard library to include an emoji
range. To use it, import emojientities
and string
and use string.emojis
to, for instance, filter emojis in a text:
import emojientities
import string
# example string from: Hiippala et al. (2018) Exploring the linguistic landscape of
# geotagged social media content in urban environments. Digital Scholarship in the Humanities.
photoCaption = "Great weather in Helsinki!!! On holiday with @username.:-) #helsinki #visitfinland 🤓☀️🛳️"
emojisOnly = "".join(
[c for c in photoCaption if c in string.emojis]
)
# '🤓☀️🛳️'
photoCaptionWithoutEmojis = "".join(
[c for c in photoCaption if c not in string.emojis]
)
# 'Great weather in Helsinki!!! On holiday with @username.:-) #helsinki #visitfinland '
