TextMesh Pro Full Emoji Support Api (emoji Sequen

Hello guys, i want to share this improvement API to TextMeshPro

This package will include all you need to support all Emojis of Android/iOS in you app (Unicode Emoji 12.0)

The original TextMeshPro use unicode characters to try map Emojis, but this is problematic because in Android we have a huge amount of Emojis that use Char Sequence.

Thats why you need this API.

CURRENT VERSION: 1.1.5

NEW INSTALL GUIDE (Package Manager Unity 2019):

• Delete old versions of this API inside your Assets folder
• Add following link inside manifest.json (Packages\manifest.json)

Code (CSharp):

1. {
2.     "dependencies": {
3.         "com.kyub.emojisearch": "https://gitlab-ci-token:glpat-c6ymx9eBXkdQhFhCMaLg@gitlab.com/KyubInteractive/kyublibs.git#com.kyub.emojisearch-1.1.5",
4.         ...
5.     }
6. }

FAST GUIDE:

• Replace your TextMeshProUGUI component to TMP_EmojiTextUGUI component in the GameObject
  
  ​
• Enable RichText (we need it because we use <sprite=index> tag to map the emojis).
  
  
• Add in TMP SETTINGS (or in your TMP_EmojiTextUGUI) the spriteasset in correct format
  (generated by Sprite Importer)
  
  ​

PS: Already added the EmojiData_google in this project so you can use it.
(License Apache License 2.0)

This SpriteAsset contains all emojis from Android 9.0 in 32x32 per emoji format.

USING CONVERSION TOOL TO GENERATE SPRITEASSETS (NEW GUIDE):

• Download a JSON and a Spritetexture from https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data
• Access in Unity the tool 'Sprite Emoji Importer'
  (Path: "Window/TextMeshPro/Sprite Emoji Importer")
• Drop the JSON downloaded from emoji-date in the tool and configure the size/spacing/padding of the grid in SpriteSheet (default size 32x32, with spacing 2x2 and padding 1x1)
• Check the Import Format to "Emoji Data Json"
• Hit Create Sprite Asset
• Save your SpriteAsset and use it in TextMeshPro (yey!)
  

ENJOY the Full Unicode Emoji 14.0 Support! YEY!

• Here an example of a chat system implemented with this Api
  

ABOUT SEARCH ENGINE IMPLEMENTATION:

• The emoji sequence will be extracted from TMP_Sprite.name in UTF32 or UTF16 HEX format separeted by '-' for each char (see example below)
  Ex: TMP_Sprite.name = 0023-fe0f-20e3.png
  
  0023-fe0f-20e3.png will generate:
  Unicode 00000023 and
  Sequence 00000023 0000fe0f 000020e3
  
  so this a valid CharSequence and must be included in SearchEngine because TMP_Text dont know how to handle with it
  (the sequence != unicode representation)
  
  But
  
  0023.png will generate:
  Unicode 00000023 and
  Sequence 00000023
  
  so this will be ignored by the searchengine (default TMP_Text can handle this case without extra overheads because the sequence == unicode representation)
  
  PS1: The pattern is the default names in emoji-date JSONs and in EmojiOne JSONs
  PS2: The CharSequence will be ignored if UnicodeHex == Name.ToHex() or if the Name is not in correct pattern.
  
  
• Search engine will try cache all Emoji Sequences of a SpriteAsset in two lookup tables
  
  
• The first table will Map the CharSequence to SpriteIndex
  (example: sequence U+1f3c4 U+200d U+2640 U+fe0f will be mapped to <Sprite=512>)
  
  
• The second Dictionary will map all paths until the end.
  (Example: in Sequence U+1f3c4 U+200d U+2640 U+fe0f we will generate entry for all chars util the end because we need O(1) access while trying to find if a char is mapped as a sequence (or if i can give up and just leave this char in final text)
  
  FastPath Entries for U+1f3c4 U+200d U+2640 U+fe0f
  U+1f3c4
  U+1f3c4 U+200d
  U+1f3c4 U+200d U+2640
  U+1f3c4 U+200d U+2640 U+fe0f
  
  
• During parse process it will check char by char, looking at FastPathDictionary. if we failed to find entry in FastPath we try to retrieve sprite from CharSequenceToSpriteIndex table (with current path checked until last iteration). If failed we leave this char alone (this is not an emoji sequence).
• The process is very eficient because we acess all dictionaries in O(1), so the order of complexity to parse a text is O(N) while N = text.length
  (with minor extra overheads during the search).
• The SearchEngine will only parse text when something changed in TMP_EmojiTextUGUI
  
• The original text in TMP_EmojiTextUGUI will not be affected because the parse process don't save the parsed text in m_text (only in the charbuffer)

Most excellent, I just updated to 2019.1 and have a project of moderate size that relies heavily on TMP, (It's a sudoku derivative) and now I need emojis. So I just downloaded it, and going to give it a try. I'll email you if I have any deep technical issues.

 

Hello! Emojis are small(
Is it possible to scale them?

 

Just download the version in 64x64 in https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data and follow the tutorial in my post.
But take care, Highend Mobile Devices can only run textures with 4096x4096(in low end devices this number is limited to 2048x2048).

 

Generated emojis from sheet_apple_32 of emoji data doesn't work with the generated JSON, I've noticed that their table uses 0.41em as the padding.

Is there anything i need to change to support the latest emoji data?

 

Thanks for your asset! Maybe you can do it for TMP InputField too?)

Or I can change TMP text component in InputField to this?

upd: yeah, it works

upd2: no input field shows emoji, but when try to edit error occurs

 

Hey Rafael_CS just wanted to say thank you very much for this! I was wrangling my head around character sequences support! Thanks again

 

Can you give me more details about it?

 

Change the padding while generating the JSON, you can do it in the Editor Window Tool of my asset

 

I don't remember now, need reproduce it again.
But I know that fallback atlases support works incorrect, cuz for each fallback atlas tablekey will be rewrited.

I have 2 atlases, atlas 2 in fallback list for atlas 1
Input emoji from atlas 1, it will paste smth like that:

Code (JavaScript):

1. from atlas 1 <sprite=10> text

And now if I input emoji from atlas 2, with index 10 it will paste the same

Code (JavaScript):

1. from atlas 1 <sprite=10> text, from atlas 2 <sprite=10> test

Will show 1 emoji from atlas 1, but should be different. Emoji from atlas 2 must have other index.

 

I think, need some edits with that part:

Code (CSharp):

1.                                
2. string tableKey = tableBuilder.ToString ();
3. if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty (tableKey) && !lookupTableSequences.ContainsKey (tableKey)) {                            
4.   lookupTableSequences[tableKey] = j;
5. }
6.  

Cuz in loop for each atlas, j variable will be increment from zero

 

So, I fixed that issue by adding atlas name support.

Code (CSharp):

1. from atlas 1 <sprite="atlas1" index=10> text, from atlas 2 <sprite="atlas2" index=10> test

 

Nice, i will update with this modification support

[ChangeLog Version 1.1]

Changed parser to support fallbacks.

Code (CSharp):

1. <sprite name="char sequence">

Doing this we can prevent index problems and avoid necessity to put spriteatlas inside the correct folder.

Thanks igor for the bug report

 

So, can you test this realization with TMP Input field? Maybe I do smth wrong..

 

I will try take a look.

But the inputfield in mobile, just send text in input to the tmp_text ... so, if the inputfield send the sequence of characters to tmp_text, the algorithm should decode and replace to a emoji

 

I used your generated json file and everything is working fine except the specific icon which consinst of multiple unicode characters (like the flags!)

When using your TMP_EmojiTextUGUI I get the same wrong behaviour as when using the normal TextMeshProUGUI component?

The flags are shown as multiple icons as can be seen here (this is now with EmojiTextUGUI):

It should only show the austria flags (that was what I entered) - so the second flags before are all wrong.

Shouldn't the TMP_EmojiTextUGUI parse this correctly - I was thinking this is the reason for this control or am I wrong?

Thanks in advance for your time and efforts,
Oliver

 

I can see that your searchengine is correcty changing m_text to the correct sprite name (which is als available in table!) then calling ParseInputText() and then reverting. But in game it still looking with the multi icons?

I am using Unity 2019.2.8f1

 

When removing the line:

Code (CSharp):

1. //We must revert the original text because we dont want to permanently change the text
2.                 m_text = v_oldText;

then it works fine? I guess it does not work when temporary changing m_text and calling ParseInputText() in 2019.2.8f1?

 

I checked it again and found out that emoji pasts correct, but caret works strange after emoji paste/remove. After some text and emoji, caret position works incorrect.

 

Also when using Multi-Icons, even though displaying works, I can see several warning message in unity from TMP telling that some ASCII cannot be found in fallback value?

Code (CSharp):

1. Character with ASCII value of 9792 was not found in the Font Asset Glyph Table. It was replaced by a space.
2. UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning(Object, Object)
3. TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI:SetArraySizes(UnicodeChar[]) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@2.0.1/Scripts/Runtime/TMPro_UGUI_Private.cs:1316)
4. TMPro.TMP_Text:ParseInputText() (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@2.0.1/Scripts/Runtime/TMP_Text.cs:1716)
5. TMPro.TMP_Text:GetPreferredWidth() (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@2.0.1/Scripts/Runtime/TMP_Text.cs:3536)
6. TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI:CalculateLayoutInputHorizontal() (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@2.0.1/Scripts/Runtime/TextMeshProUGUI.cs:93)
7. UnityEngine.Canvas:ForceUpdateCanvases()

 

It is not icons problem. It means that there is no symbol in your font.

 

Yes sure, but it only happens when using the multi-icons, I know that we don't have the symbols for multi icons, because the multi icons use multiple single ASCII values for one icon. So I guess this is why we get this error, but can't this be avoided?

 

Hello, Rafael! I got some problem loading 64x64 emojis. I downloaded spritesheet and json from https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data and using emoji.json in "EmojiData to TexturePacker" to get texturepacker. In "Sprite importer" i use this texturepacker and sheet_google_64.png. Then i use generated asset in TMP settings but it does not showing emojis in text output. I think this happens because i`am using wrong values of "grid size", "padding", "spacing" but i have no idea where i can get proper values. I will be very appreciated for your help

 

@IvanTroho here the setup for image sprite_sheet_64.png


As downloaded image of google_sheet_64 is not power of 2 image, i converted it to 4096x4096 with dock in Top-Left (using paint.net) before create the sprite asset in Unity.



Dont forget to edit texture properties in Unity:
* Uncheck "generate Mipmaps"
* Check "alpha is transparent"
* Set "Max Size" to 4096



[OPTIONAL] if you are using the google_sheet_64 with non-power of two size (the one downloaded from web with size 3498x3498) set "non power of two" to "None" and Compression to "None". I really recommend to edit image in photoshop to keep size in power of two(4096x4096), so you can use compression instead of consume 46mb of memory (as you can see in image above, the compressed memory size was 16mb instead of 46mb)

Best Regards
Rafael

 

Probably something changed in new unity/textmeshpro of new unity.

I must investigate the problem

 

Thank you so much, it works like a charm!

 

@odysoftware
Replace the TMP_EmojiTextUGUI script code to this new one and the emoji will work again in unity 2019.2

Dependences:
* TextMeshPro 1.3 in Unity <= 2018.2

Hi Rafael and thank you so much for your contribution. I am trying to use your project. Followed the instructions but I see no characters, emojis etc in the text field. I have been modifying the fonts colors sizes etc, but nothing happens. Is there anything else that maybe I have missed? Followed all the steps without problems. Thank you.

 

Try use the Asset inside Unity Package and check if it works.

 

Hello guys, I upgraded the project to use PackageManager (Unity 2019+).

To install the new version add the following lines to your manifest.json (Packages/manisfest.json) and delete old emojisearch folder inside your Assets folder. After that you just need to open unity and wait download finish. Yey!

Code (CSharp):

1. {
2.     "dependencies": {
3.         "com.kyub.emojisearch": "https://gitlab-ci-token:zF563oCqvXdJmiDuMShq@gitlab.com/KyubInteractive/kyublibs.git#com.kyub.emojisearch-1.0.2",
4.         ...
5.     }
6. }

With this new version we can handle TextMeshPro versions using #Ifdefs. Only packages can create custom defines based in a dependence package version. With this feature we can support TextMeshPro API upgrades over the time.

Best Regards
Rafael

 

Hi Rafael,
Thank you very much for great asset. I'm using Unity 2018.4 LTS and TMP 1.4.1, when change to new method, it's failed. Below is the detail. Please help me how to fix it. Thank you.

 

Try Upgrade to version emojisearch 1.0.2 before everything.

Code (CSharp):

1. {
2.     "dependencies": {
3.         "com.kyub.emojisearch": "https://gitlab-ci-token:zF563oCqvXdJmiDuMShq@gitlab.com/KyubInteractive/kyublibs.git#com.kyub.emojisearch-1.0.2",
4.         ...
5.     }
6. }

"namespace TMPro" is the textmeshpro default namespace, if the package cannot find this namespace probably your textmeshpro was not installed using PackageManager.

Try reinstall it.

 

Many thanks for your quick help.
I followed your advice but it's still failed.
I used your asset before. It worked when import custom package and failed when I tried new install method following your guide

Check inside emojisearch package asmdef (Kyub.EmojiSearch.asmdef) contains dependence reference to TextMeshPro (or if is missing). If asmdef reference to textmeshpro is missing the code will fail to compile.

You can check all packages of your project in your Project View expanding "Packages" folder.

I tested in Unity 2019.1 with textmeshpro 1.4.1 and everything is fine.

 

Currently I use Unity 2018.4.16f1. Is it compatible with this install method? The "lock" block code is generate auto by Unity

Hi Rafael,
You are right, the reference to TMP is missing, but I don't know why and how to change it. It's grayed out.

 

Looks like Unity 2018.4 dont have GUID reference in Asmdef, i will upgrade the package to you to prevent using asmdef GUID (unity 2019 feature probably), just wait a moment until i upgrade the package to dont use GUID reference

 

Okey @vuluu , i upgraded the package to dont use asmdef GUID Reference (looks like this is a feature of unity 2019.1+)

Try upgrade to version 1.0.2

Code (CSharp):

1. {
2.     "dependencies": {
3.         "com.kyub.emojisearch": "https://gitlab-ci-token:zF563oCqvXdJmiDuMShq@gitlab.com/KyubInteractive/kyublibs.git#com.kyub.emojisearch-1.0.2",
4.         ...
5.     }
6. }

After doing this check if Kyub.EmojiSearch.asmdef contains reference to TextMeshPro.


Dont forget to check if the version of the package is 1.0.2.


Best Regards
Rafael

 

Hi @Rafael_CS
Many thanks for your quick support.
Those errors are gone. But now I get other error. Please see bellow picture.

 

Check if the version of your TextMeshPro is 1.4.1 (in package manager)

As the package version first dependence is 1.3 and only Unity 2018.1 is compatible with TMPro 1.3 you must check if version 1.4.1 is installed using package manager

 

Yes I used TMP 1.4.1 already.

 

Okey, looks like UNITY 2018 dont support Version Defines in ASMDEF.

Without version defines i cant handle different versions of TextMeshPro



this #ifdefs in code was defined in my asmdef



As unity 2018 dont support Asmdef Defines you can try define the constraint "TMP_1_4_0_OR_NEWER" in your project player settings

Try add this inside your Scripting Define Symbols of your project PlayerSettings

 

Okey, i Upgraded the package again to try support version 1.4 in Unity 2018.3.

Just remove the Lock from your maninfest (this way the unity will download the package with tag 1.0.2 again)

It works perfect now. Thank you for your help and your great asset.

 

Hi @Rafael_CS
One more question, now this package doesn't have EmojiData_google. I can't find it. Should I manually generate it?

 

Inside Test Folder of the Package

 

Hi @Rafael_CS . Thank you for your hard work. I am still having the same issue. I updated my project to unity 2019.3, I also was able to add the new plugin package as you indicate. I followed the instructions replacing the TMP component for TMP_Emoji Text UGUI component. But when I'm writing text or trying to get the text to my TMP component from script I don't see anything. Also I would like to know if there is any extra step to perform in order to get the plugin to parse the text and detect the emojis, I am actually able to use the provided atlas sheet for apple and the regular text mesh pro does a great job finding the basic emojis, but when we try with variations of colors or other emojis, the answer is not accurate which makes important the use of your plugin. I would like to know if I'm doing anything wrong. thank you for your support and help.

 

which version of textmeshpro is installed in your project?

Try install version 2.1.0-preview.2

This version is the most stable at the moment.

To download this version you must activate Preview Versions (a button on the top bar of Package Manager)

 

Hi, I have TMP 2.0.1

 

Just try upgrade to version 2.1.0-preview.2

Version 2.0.1 contains too many bugs and not correctly supported in Unity 2019

Dont forget to Reimport "TextMeshPro Essentials"







And now you can, just change TextMeshProUGUI to TMP_EmojiTextUGUI (follow the tutorial of my post to make it work with emojichar sequences)
