How to handle unicode strings & lowercase letters not able to detect in ascii field

[dominicarrojado]

I force the Emoji to turn into image but now what If user paste a 😀 which is a unicode?

Cannot detect small laters on ascii I tried to put ':p' in the ascii but its able to detect capitalize ":P" and some letters even capitalize not working also.

This should perhaps be two issues?

• Anyway, I think we should go with capitalized ASCII emojis. Otherwise, :d would be a :D, which looks funny.
• It's been out of scope for this package to parse Unicode emojis. Happy to look at a PR for that though.

Thanks for the reply man! @johanbrook Yea probably right about sticking to capitalized I'm just used to entering :p. But the issue tho some ascii's not working. Like you defined this ascii :') but its not able to find the emoji and also trying other letters doesn't work also like capital L for example.

Ok not a big deal in the second one. Hope somebody PR haha.

Thank you!

Are you sure :') isn't parsed? The tests for it go through: https://github.com/lookback/meteor-emoji/blob/master/spec/emojis-spec.coffee#L63-L71

Yeah. :* not working also. Btw I forced all to use images. I tried both {{#emoji}}{{/emoji}} and the javascript Emojis.parse(text). Still doesn't parse. Later I'll try not forcing to use images if it still doesn't parse.

OK I figured why :') is not being parsed cause I escaped it with an HTML escape script. But :* still doesn't work after removing all my parsers. Just the plain message.
