(keitai-l) Re: emoji and choking waps

>>Has anyone built a conversion table?

i don't see much code on this list, but here goes (sorry it's VBScript) --
just outputs the list of emoji IDs and 'names'. If code is not appropriate,
perhaps the moderator(?) can move to list FAQ? unfortunately it's always
more verbose that a few throwaway regexp lines...

this code outputs 'switch' statements for a lookup function. the DO WHILE
loop is easily modified to alter this to any format you like.

i guess it'd more more useful if extracting the kanji for each emoji, but
you'll probably want that data in a specific character set anyway...

cd

p.s. remember \ is 'backslash' :-)
