Emoji to short-name 🎉😊

Encode/Decode emojis 📝 inside a string to/from his :short-name:

Why?

Sometimes it's safer to store and transfer emojis under an ASCII safe format to prevent the information to get messy or have her integrity violated. So, this package intention is to provide an easy way to:

Encode message -> delivery/store -> Decode message to present.

How it works 🚀

Input string:

We are meshing 📝 language with 👀 language to communicate ideas and feelings.

Encoding

emojiSn.encode(input);

Outputs encoded string: We are meshing :memo: language with :eyes: language to communicate ideas and feelings.

Decoding

emojiSn.decode(encoded);

Outputs decoded string: We are meshing 📝 language with 👀 language to communicate ideas and feelings.
