Accurate Checking of Discord's Built-in Emojis

[sly bane]

What is a reliable way to test if a string is a built-in Discord emoji?
**Note: **Not all built-in Discord emojis are in the emoji library

For example,
:awesomefakeemoji: is not a built-in Discord emoji
🇪 is a built-in Discord emoji
:regional_indicator_e: is a built-in Discord emoji
is not a built-in Discord emoji

seems discord uses https://twemoji.twitter.com/

so maybe you could make a list of emojis that are built-in and check against it

there's gotta be a better way

nvm.. those solutions are silly

Easy: if it’s Unicode, it’s a built-in one

I have looked into this issue before. There is not a great solution. Not all discord emojis are unicode iirc. And there are many unicode characters that are not discord emojis.

its why I deleted my solutions

Well one thing for sure, built-in ones have no id

[stable glade]

But it is also impossible to tell what charecters are even emojis if they dont have an ID

[sacred epoch]

I would say https://dis.gd/support

They could maybe answer it

[stable glade]

Or the API server?

[sacred epoch]

nah

forget it

they will be rude
