- Add 330 new emojis from Unicode 10.0–16.0 - Add 742 new gemoji aliases (2711 total, up from 1969) - Gender-explicit aliases corrected to ZWJ variants: 👰♀️, 💂♂️, 🤵♂️, 👳♂️, 🙆♀️ now map to their gender-specific forms - Fix erroneous leading ♾ on 🏴☠️ / :jolly_roger: - emojis.json ordered with existing entries in original positions and new entries appended, using the original \uXXXX surrogate-pair encoding - FE0F handled transparently at the trie level: the trie accepts emoji sequences with or without FE0F; EmojiParser stores actual emojiEndIndex from getEmojiEndPos() so positions are correct when FE0F is in input - Bump version to 5.1.2 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

218 existing entries had FE0F appended to their emojiChar field (e.g. © → ©️, ® → ®️, ☺ →☺️ , ✂ → ✂️, etc.) without a corresponding change to the emoji field used at runtime. One entry (satellite) also had FE0F added to its emoji field (🛰 → 🛰️). Both changes are incorrect for pre-existing entries: the emoji field (getUnicode() return value) must match emojiChar or the EMOJIS.md docs become misleading. Newly-added emojis that include FE0F are unaffected. Regenerate EMOJIS.md from the corrected emojis.json. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Upgrades the emoji database to Unicode 16.0 and adds support for almost all gemoji aliases.
What's included
getUnicode()return values andemojiCharvalues are unchanged from v5.1.1.:pirate_flag:/:jolly_roger:Alias mapping changes
Six existing aliases now point to different emoji. These are intentional corrections:
:bride_with_veil::guardsman::man_in_tuxedo::man_with_turban::ok_woman::email::envelope:now maps to ✉)Note:
getUnicode()for the gendered entries returns the ZWJ sequence without FE0F (e.g.💂♂); FE0F is included inemojiCharfor correct emoji rendering.All other existing alias targets are preserved.
Differences from gemoji
This repo intentionally diverges from gemoji on 5 aliases for backward compatibility. The gemoji-preferred emoji is still reachable via an alternative alias:
:beetle::stag_beetle::jar::mason_jar::ng::squared_ng::om::om_symbol::satellite::satellite_antenna:This repo also carries ~800 aliases that gemoji doesn't have, including 238 two-letter country-code flag aliases (
:ac:,:ad:, …) and ~560 others that predate this PR.
