Research direction

Start by locating the emoji module and the emoji member definitions, then inspect how symbol properties are represented. Implement the requested text presentation property for applicable emoji with Variation Selector-15, and verify that the example crossmark value and other supported emoji produce the intended text form.

Description

multi-character symbols
Description

For emoji which have a text presentation form, add a .text symbol property on the emoji member for that emoji for the text presentation form (with Variation Selector-15 added). For instance, emoji.crossmark.text would be ❌︎.

Use Case

I sometimes find myself wanting to use an emoji, for which the emoji module is great, but sometimes I prefer a plain text style. For instance, the ❌ emoji doesn’t have a well-fitting non-emoji character, but it does have a text presentation: ❌︎
