Note on codepoints

In recent Unicode updates, a few smileys have been disambiguated. (In less polite speak, Apple kept insisting on using their divergent designs and Unicode changed the shortcodes to meet them. )

There are a few smiley pairs that either have different codepoints or one of the pair has a codepoint where it didn't before because Unicode made one for a design I already had established.

Shortcode changes

I want to try to work towards providing more convenient packages with an eye to better platform adoption in 2024.02 and I was also struggling to grapple with my own interpretations of some fairly vague designs (especially the grinning ones), so I took the opportunity in this redesign to bring shortcodes more in line (although not completely) with how various platforms use them.

This could result in some weird behaviour if changing them out in places, as some of these changes result in a few designs swapping around.

  • smile -> slight_smile
  • upside_down_smile -> upside_down
  • big_smile -> grinning
  • happy -> smiley
  • grin -> smile
  • grinning -> grin
  • stick_out_tongue -> stuck_out_tongue
  • xd_tongue -> closed_eyes_tongue
  • embarrassed -> flushed
  • hug -> hugging_face
  • wink_kiss -> blowing_a_kiss
  • straight_face -> neutral_face
  • surprised -> hushed
  • shocked -> anguished
  • unhappy -> frown_open_mouth (the design for this one is substantially different than the original due to previous confusion over Unicode codepoints)
  • smile_w_tear -> smile_with_tear
  • loud_cry -> sob
  • sneezing -> sneeze
  • nauseous -> face_with_thermometer
  • sick -> nauseous
  • angry_steam -> triumph
  • cool_face -> sunglasses_face
  • nerd_face -> nerd
  • shit -> poop
  • hot_shit -> flaming_poop

Other improvements

  • Greatly improved text descriptions for smileys, many of which did not have proper text descriptions at all. I didn’t notice this until now, many apologies.
