Emoji Every Day
An emoji character for (almost) every day.
Data in emoji.yaml. Made for India, but can be extended to other countries.
Includes:
- Informally observed holidays
- List of International Days and Weeks observed by United Nations
Format
The emoji.yaml
file contains a dictionary with keys in either YYYY-MM-DD
or MM-DD
format,
depending on whether the holiday is fixed or floating.
Each date contains a list of events, each event consisting of the following keys:
emoji
: A short single-grapheme representation of the event. Almost always an emoji, but can ocassionaly be a different unicode codepoint.day_name
: Human-readable name of the event, in englishtype
: UN/informal/2-letter ISO country codelink
: A valid web URL. Optional.
Emoji Choices
There aren't enough emojis to represent a lot of things, so this is best-effort. If you have an improvement, please file a PR. In some cases, due to unicode standard updates taking time to rollout, the emoji may show as multiple characters, such as the Refugee Flag (🏳🟧⬛🟧), which shows up as 4 characters almost everywhere, since the proposal isn't accepted yet.
