-Emojis are characters in Unicode. The application WhatsApp uses special fonts such as to have the same appearance of emojis on all operation systems. In our corpus browsers, emojis can be displayed, but they are represented in the font that is used by the user, thus, it cannot be guarantied that an emoji in the original text looked as it does on your screen.

+Querying emojis is not an easy task. We decided to encode them in the messages, e.g. as  ''emojiQsmilingCatFaceWithOpenMouth''. This encoding system allows for easily finding individual or groups of emojis using [[02_browsing:04_queries:03_regex|Regular Expressions]], e.g.:
+  * ''emojiQ.*'' finds all emojis
+  * ''emojiQcat.*''  finds all cats
+  * ''emojiQ.*[Ff]ace.*'' finds all faces, both human and cats (and maybe others).
-Querying emojis might not always be easy. We therefor decided to encode them in texts. This emoji 😺 would e.g. become //emojiQsmilingCatFaceWithOpenMouth//. This encoding system allows for easily finding individual or groups of emojis using Regular Expressions, e.g.:
-  * //emojiQ.*//: finds all emojis
-  * //emojiQcat.*//: finds all cats
-  * //emojiQ.*[Ff]ace.*//: finds all faces, both human and cats (and maybe others).
-You can thus query for individual emojis or for their encodings.
