Claims22
A system to customize emoji for messaging, the system comprising one or more computer systems including one or more processors and memories containing program code for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more computer systems configured to:
- parse an input sequence according to a syntax to identify:
- one or more emoji, and
- a syntax character that is coded in the syntax as usable to modify a rendering of the one or more emoji;
- interpret the syntax character as a command to modify the rendering of the one or more emoji, such that the syntax character is not rendered;
- generate one or more images of the one or more emoji modified according to the syntax character;
- and
- output the generated one or more images.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions to customize emoji for messaging that, when executed by one or more processors in one or more computer systems, configure the computer systems to:
- parse an input sequence according to a syntax to identify:
- one or more emoji, and
- a syntax character that is coded in the syntax as usable to modify a rendering of the one or more emoji;
- interpret the syntax character as a command to modify the rendering of the one or more emoji, such that the syntax character is not rendered;
- generate one or more images of the one or more emoji modified according to the syntax character;
- and
- output the generated one or more images.
A method to allow a user to customize emoji for messaging, comprising providing machine-readable instructions executable by components of a computing system to:
- parse an input sequence according to a syntax to identify:
- one or more emoji, and
- a syntax character that is coded in the syntax as usable to modify a rendering of the one or more emoji;
- interpret the syntax character as a command to modify the rendering of the one or more emoji, such that the syntax character is not rendered;
- generate one or more images of the one or more emoji modified according to the syntax character;
- and
- output the generated one or more images.
