Update Emoji DB

[szepeviktor]

@andriykrefer Thank you for the package.

Where may I find newer db.json?
Last three years new emojis came out.

Excellent plugin, but 🐱‍💻 is missing :)

@szepeviktor sorry, I hadn't seen your issue before, I just saw it now
@raveren
I'll try to locate the scraper script I used back then to fetch the emojis (or write a new one) so I can update the DB

Latest emojis are v15.1 https://www.unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html
There are many GitHub repos listing emojis in JSON e.g. https://github.com/chalda-pnuzig/emojis.json or https://github.com/amio/emoji.json you can use jq to convert it.
The hacker cat emoji is a composite one https://emojipedia.org/hacker-cat#technical

Thank you for the info.
I already found the script I used back then, and it is not working anymore. I had scraped emojipedia.org
Besides the json database I also need the rendered emoji images, and they have that.
I will have to fix the script or find a db with the images, and emoji names, aliases, codepoints and categories.
It doesn't need to be json, other formats may be converted to json.

find a db with the images

This is the official one from the Unicode Consortium.
https://www.unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html
It has data-URI images.
