The emoji name tool is used to generate titles of emoji images in pages on the get/noto web site, and group them into related sets. The original emoji name tool in nototools was based on various informal emoji name data files plus additional tweaks. Now there is a standard source of this data and it is parsed by unicode_data in nototools. So we start with that data. The name data from there is designed for Unicode use and it not quite appropriate for titles in this format. This tool tweaked those names. This operates in much the same way, except the names are a bit different when coming from the unicode_data source and so require somewhat different tweaks. The emoji alias data/code resides in noto-emoji, but the client for this tool is in nototools, so it's a bit unclear where to put this. To avoid circular dependencies, formerly we duplicated some flag aliasing information in the nototools version. Now we're trying the opposite approach, putting the tool in noto-emoji instead... |

Noto Emoji
Color and Black-and-White Noto emoji fonts, and tools for working with them.
The color version must be built from source.
Building NotoColorEmoji
Building NotoColorEmoji requires a few files from nototools. Clone a copy from https://github.com/googlei18n/nototools and either put it in your PYTHONPATH or use 'python setup.py develop' ('install' currently won't fully install all the data used by nototools). You will also need fontTools, get it from https://github.com/behdad/fonttools.git.
Then run make. NotoColorEmoji is the default target. It's suggested to use -j, especially if you are using zopflipng for compression. Intermediate products (compressed image files, for example) will be put into a build subdirectory; the font will be at the top level.
Using NotoColorEmoji
NotoColorEmoji uses the CBDT/CBLC color font format, which is supported by Android and Chrome/Chromium OS, but not MacOS. Windows supports it starting with Windows 10 Anniversary Update. No Browser on MacOS supports it, but Edge (on latest Windows) does. Chrome on Linux will support it with some fontconfig tweaking, see issue #36. Currently we do not build other color font formats.

SIL Open Font License, version 1.1.
Tools and most image resources are under the Apache license, version 2.0.
