Hi again, list. char-emj.lua is automatically generated, I guess from
here? https://www.unicode.org/Public/17.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt
<https://www.unicode.org/Public/17.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt>. Well, I
regenerated data with a custom script (attached) in order to test newest
emojis and I find something weird. Emojis whose names include double
quotes (Ux201C and Ux201D) cannot be accessed nor with English quotes
nor with ASCII double quotes (example attached). However, direct access
by codepoint works fine. So, my questions are:
1. How is data from char-emj.lua generated? A script in the distribution
would help to ease and speed updates after Unicode releases.
it has always been there: mtxrun --script unicode
concerning speed: if i know it, i do it ... also, we need to check it,
so any update outside the distribution is kind of unsupported
it's not like noadays unicode updates are critical so we can permit some
delay till a distribution update happens
2. Is the double quote issue expected or should it be fixed? I think
ASCII-only names would be easier to type, but it's just my opinion
I'll strip these quotes in the database generator as well as the
resolver so that
\startTEXpage[offset=10pt]
\emoj \showglyphs
\emoji{japanese “bargain” button}%
\space
\emoji{japanese bargain button}%
\stopTEXpage
both work.
