Other textual codes

[Crissov]

Some instant messenging apps, e.g. Viber ((foo)) and WeChat/QQ (/:foo and [Foo]), are using various codes to transmit (standard and custom) emojis. Should they be added to the JSON file?

[iamcal]

maybe! depends if there's a data source i can include, or if someone has manually built a mapping

[Crissov]

I could provide some mapping tables: certainly Viber and WAP, perhaps Skype, WeChat, Cisco etc.

Which format would be ideal?

[iamcal]

something similar to data_softbank_map.txt, showing the emoji CP and the representation (using comments in the same way). then the build script can process them

[Crissov]

Understood: # for line comments and fields separated by a space. Other data_*.txt files have fields separated by a semicolon ; or tab.
