This is a PHP library for dealing with mobile device Emoji.

It is based on a Ruby library here:
http://www.bitcontrol.org/2009/10/18/emoji-rubygem-for-iphone-softbank-ntt-docomo-kddi/

And data from Unicode here:
http://www.unicode.org/~scherer/emoji4unicode/snapshot/full.html

USAGE

<?php
    include('emoji.php');


    # when you recieve text from a mobile device, convert it
    # to the unified format.

    $data = emoji_docomo_to_unified($data);   # DoCoMo devices
    $data = emoji_kddi_to_unified($data);     # KDDI & Au devices
    $data = emoji_softbank_to_unified($data); # Softbank & (iPhone) Apple devices
    $data = emoji_google_to_unified($data);   # Google Android devices


    # when sending data back to mobile devices, you can
    # convert back to their native format.

    $data = emoji_unified_docomo($data);   # DoCoMo devices
    $data = emoji_unified_kddi($data);     # KDDI & Au devices
    $data = emoji_unified_softbank($data); # Softbank & (iPhone) Apple devices
    $data = emoji_unified_google($data);   # Google Android devices


    # when displaying data to anyone else, you can use HTML
    # to format the emoji.

    $data = emoji_unified_to_html($data);

    # if you want to use an editor(i.e:wysiwyg) to create the content, 
    # you can use html_to_unified to store the unified value.

    $data = emoji_html_to_unified(emoji_unified_to_html($data));
?>

When using the HTML format, you'll also need to include the emoji.css file, which points to the iphone_emoji.png image. These images come from the iPhone, so don't cover every DoCoMo/KDDI/Google emoji (they fall back to a question mark).

IMPORTANT NOTE: This library currently only deals with UTF-8. If your source data is JIS or Shift-JIS, you're out of luck for the moment.
