I ran into this problem in a side project recently and made a package to programmatically fix it: https://github.com/NarroApp/translate-emoji



Nice work!

You could even go further using algorithms like Sense2Vec (https://spacy.io/demos/sense2vec?%3B%29|NOUN). They are able to figure out similarities between emojis and between emojis and words.

I didn't know that existed. Thanks for the tip!
