A JavaScript/Node package that provides a drop-in, smaller regular-expression generator for matching emoji-only symbols. It is useful when you need an emoji-matching regex that follows the same API and passes the same emoji tests as `emoji-regex`, while using the Unicode version supported by your JavaScript environment instead of hard-coded code points.

Recent updates
v2.0.1
v2.0.1 refines the core emoji-matching regular expression. The change specifically alters how regional indicator (RI) pairs are handled when they are involved in ZWJ-related emoji sequences.
Breakingv2.0.0
v2.0.0 focuses on improving emoji compatibility by expanding support for many more underqualified emoji, aligning behavior more closely with emoji-regex and real-world usage. The release also reduces the package size further, shrinking output to roughly 0.2 kB from about 0.3 kB.
Featuresv1.0.0
Release v1.0.0 was published on 2024-06-28, but no release notes were provided by the publisher. As a result, the specific changes, potential breaking updates, bug fixes, or security/performance improvements cannot be determined from the release notes alone.
