Emoji problem : replace_emoji function problem

[Z2404]

Hi,
I'm trying to convert the emojis in my document to text.
Here is an example :

text=C'est juste enorme ce son <U+0001F44C><U+0001F44C>
tt<- iconv(text, from ="latin1", to = "ASCII", sub = "byte")
replace_emoji(tt)
"C'est juste enorme ce son <U+0001F44C><U+0001F44C>"

Apparently, it didn't work! Could anyone help me to solve this problem, please?

What is replace_emoji ?

Can you provide a reprex ?

Hi,

replace_emoji function replaces emojis with word equivalents

library(textclean)

library(sentimentr)

text=C'est juste enorme ce son <U+0001F44C><U+0001F44C>

tt<- iconv(text, from ="latin1", to = "ASCII", sub = "byte")
replace_emoji(tt)
"C'est juste enorme ce son <U+0001F44C><U+0001F44C>"

I don't know where your source text came from but using another syntax for your UTF8 char it works

text="C'est juste enorme ce son \U0001F44C\U0001F44C>"
textclean::replace_emoji(text)
#> [1] "C'est juste enorme ce son OK hand OK hand >"

# You could convert from the <U+ > form
text2 <- "C'est juste enorme ce son <U+0001F44C><U+0001F44C>"
text2 <- gsub("<U\\+([A-Z0-9]+)>", "\\\\U\\1", text2)
textclean::replace_emoji(stringi::stri_unescape_unicode(text2))
#> [1] "C'est juste enorme ce son OK hand OK hand "

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
