Emoji variables?

so if you read the title I need some help with using emojis as variable or at least have emojis represent a number.
Examples: (1= :grinning: | 2= :grin: | :grinning: + :grin: =3)
the reason as to why I’m doing this is to use numbers as sprites on a fake screen

(I totally didn’t forgor this draft from a week ago💀)

Hmmm…
this one’s a tough one.
I’m not sure, but I’m not the best at properties, maybe someone else will help

I don’t know exactly how to do it but it will probably involve properties the device.

Will anyone build upon that?

Most emojis are considered as 2 characters, so if you add the length of the emojis together, then divide by 2, it should work.

I’ll build upon this in a sec

Apparently because it’s a base emoji with a color toner correct?

I’m pretty sure that applies to all emojis on most sites

I looked it up, apparently, for other emojies like :woman_astronaut: would be 5 characters, because of the combination between :woman: emoji (2) + ZWJ(1) + :rocket: emoji (2)

ZWJ apparently merges the two images together, and are usually considered 1 character.


This system should work for getting an emoji from a number. You can build off of this however you want. If the system breaks, that usually means that you used an emoji that is more than 2 characters long.
