Convert emoji into text in Python

Emojis are widely used in modern digital communication, but sometimes you may want to convert them into text for data processing, sentiment analysis, or cleaning text data. In Python, this can be easily done using the demoji module.

Installation

You can install the demoji module using pip:

Note: The demoji module requires downloading the latest emoji codes from the Unicode Consortium, as the emoji list is frequently updated.
