Add Emoji module and codegen/emoji #75

jacobsandlund commented 2025年06月24日 14:48:59 +02:00

This PR adds a new Emoji module which can be used to query for emoji properties such as isEmojiPresentation and isExtendedPictographic.

This also adds a new codegen/emoji.zig and constructs a separate compressed binary representation of the emoji data.

The motivation for this PR is to get zg to support some of the functionality that was present in ziglyph, in order to be able to replace ziglyph with zg in the Ghostty codebase, which makes use of these emoji methods: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/5694

I also have some PRs that I'll be sending after this, stacked upon this but for now opened against my fork:

• jacobsandlund/zg#1 - Use Emoji in codegen/gbp and handle emoji modifier sequences better
• jacobsandlund/zg#2 - Remove stage 3 for Graphemes

This seems reasonable, but it now has merge conflicts, so please rebase it on master, and I'll download it and take a look, thanks.

Please open issues for the other proposed changes. Thank you.

Hey @atman, sorry for the delay. I've been busy with life and other things, including spending some time on the uucode library I started a while back. Feel free to take over this and do whatever you like with it!
