Aternative for using Emoji in C++

🚀 Alternative for using Emoji in C++

Hello! 👋 I would like to express my deep gratitude to the authors of this library. At one time, your library helped me simplify the implementation of emoji when I was developing bots for the Telegram messenger, as well as when developing a frontend on Qt.

However, to my regret, I noticed that this repository has not been updated for a long time (the last commit was 4 years ago), but the topic of using emoji remains relevant. In addition, the current solution has other shortcomings.

I am developing a library AS::Emoji that solves these problems. It provides emoji in a convenient and safe format.

🔥 Example of use:

#include <iostream>
#include <ASEmoji.h>

int main()
{
    std::cout << AS::Emoji::emojize("Hello, World! :Grinning Face with Smiling Eyes:") << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

Output:

Hello, World! 😄

I'll be glad if it's useful to someone! I'll also be glad to receive your suggestions and help in improving 🚀

I have taken into account the following shortcomings.

1. Now supports a large number of emoji, not only emoji available via Github codes.
2. For the storage structure of utf8 strings, unordered_map is used.
3. Added Makefile for installation into the system.
4. Added more features for flexible work.
