Noto Emoji fonts

Noto Emoji

Noto Emoji (Stands for No Tofu) is an open source (Open Font License 1.1) emoji library that provides standard Unicode emoji support and tools for working with them including:

• A Unicode compliant color emoji font.
• A full library of Noto color emoji font files including vector svgs and pngs
• Metadata for Emoji Input (including shortcodes, emoji ordering, ascii equivalents)

Color Font

The latest font file is found here. If you want to download a specific version, please look at the gh-pages branch, where you will find the built assets for both our latest and older versions.

Monochrome Font

The black-and-white emoji font is back under active development and is available as a variable font

Using NotoColorEmoji

NotoColorEmoji uses the CBDT/CBLC color font format, which is supported by Android and Chrome/Chromium OS. Windows supports it starting with Windows 10 Anniversary Update in Chrome and Edge. On macOS, only Chrome supports it, while on Linux it will support it with some fontconfig tweaking, see issue #36. Currently we do not build other color font formats.

A note about PNGs

The assets provided in the repo are all those used to build the NotoColorEmoji font. With one exception: the flag images in the font are PNG images to which transforms have been applied to standardize the size and generate the wave and border shadow. We do not have SVG versions that reflect these transforms.

License

Emoji fonts (under the fonts subdirectory) are under the SIL Open Font License, version 1.1.
Tools and most image resources are under the Apache license, version 2.0. Flag images under third_party/region-flags are in the public domain or otherwise exempt from copyright (more info).

noto-emoji's Issues

Update the bee emoji

Hello,

Looks like the bee SVG is out of date. It shows the old Android 6 emoji: https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-emoji/blob/master/svg/emoji_u1f41d.svg

The new one should look like:

http://emojipedia-us.s3.amazonaws.com/cache/02/5e/025e981c27aecee4d1d5abb15d0d9e05.png

Could you update the svg file to have the latest graphic?

Thanks in advance!

Create milestones for including Unicode 7 and Unicode 8 emoji

Milestones are very useful for tagging issues, such as #12.

Flag of Switzerland should be square

The current emoji for the flag of Switzerland is rectangular, which is incorrect, it should be square. Wikipedia has references to the relevant standards and regulations:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Switzerland

emoji_u1f4e1.svg has clipping issues

Open it in Firefox, observe.

Detective emoji missing emoji variation selector on Android 7.1

I'm not sure if this is the right place to flag this up, if this the wrong place I apologise, I'm happy to forward this on to someone else.

Whilst experimenting with the Noto emoji font that shipped in the Android 7.1 emulator image, it was discovered that there's no glyph for "1F575 FE0F" (detective with emoji presentation selector). However for the gendered emoji such as "1F575 FE0F 200D 2640 FE0F" the emoji presentation selectors do seem to be required.

According to the latest draft emoji specification ( http://www.unicode.org/Public/emoji/4.0/emoji-data.txt ) the detective is still text presentation by default and thus should require the emoji presentation selector (please let me know if you've heard otherwise - it could be that this draft is outdated).

I also realise that the emoji presentation selector also exists within the font (and I think it's a zero width glyph) and so it will still render correctly with or without the presentation selector, however, not having a glyph for the explicit emoji presentation breaks the Paint.hasGlyph(...) method in Android ( https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Paint.html#hasGlyph(java.lang.String) ) because technically it's two glyphs.

Any help getting to the bottom of what's going on is appreciated 😄

Build other Emoji fonts besides Noto

The noto-emoji project is two things at the same time:

• an open-source toolchain for converting SVG assets to TrueType with colored emoji glyphs;
• freely licensed SVG assets for the Noto Emoji glyphs.

After a few minor changes, our toolchain could also consume other free assets and generate optimized fonts for Twitter Emoji (repo, license) and Emoji One (repo, license).

Update emoji font with design improvement and new Unicode characters

NotoColorEmoji.ttf is not a valid font on Mac

Double-clicking on the .ttf file opens FontBook but FontBook will not display the font.
The font cannot be used in any mac application even if installed in the Library/Fonts folder.
NotoEmoji-Regular.ttf works fine though.

All rights reservered in font header

The header of the produced fonts currently states Copyright 2015 Google Inc. All Rights Reserved. which conflicts with the SIL Open Font License, because many rights are not reserved, but granted by the license. The header creates unnecessary legal uncertainty. What is valid, the header or the license file?

I suspect that changing this line to mention the OFL would resolve this issue:
https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-emoji/blob/c6379827aaa9cb0baca1a08a9d44ae74ca505236/NotoColorEmojiSvg.tmpl.ttx#L133

Why were all the emoji's changed to be front-facing?

The different poses made them a lot more legible and cute.

Add support for Unicode 7-8 emoji

IOS 9.1 has added support for many emoji, especially ones from Unicode 7 and Unicode 8.

BTW, I think that the lack of support for Robot Face is particularly glaring, as it implies a shocking anti-siliconist prejudice. 👿

SVG files are out of date

A lot of the png files have been updated to Android N versions, but the SVG versions still display the old (eg. non-human) versions

Make it clear that 'make' requires PYTHONPATH to include noto-tools

When I tried to build NotoColorEmoji by running 'make' in the checkout, it failed in 'flag-symlinks' because |GLYPH_NAMES| variable is empty. I couldn't find any issue with rules for that target. Then, it dawned on me that flag_glyph_name.py relies on noto-tools is required by flag_glyph_name.py.

GLYPH_NAMES := $(shell ./flag_glyph_name.py $(FLAGS))

PYTHONPATH={path to noto-tools}:. make solved the problem.

I propose that we either document it more prominently or add a pseudo-target to check if noto_tools is in python path and fails right away (instead of moving forward).

Missing flag images (PNG & SVG) other than the first 10

I looked into the PNG and SVG folders of this repository, and found only these flags:

Japan, South Korea, Germany, China, United States, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, United Kingdom.

Currently does not build

Tried following the instructions for building the color emojis and the project fails to build. Python step installed correctly then.

daidoji@darkstar:~/noto/nototools$ make Makefile:37: target 'packages' given more than once in the same rule find:./fonts/individual': No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'fonts/individual/hinted/*.ttf', needed by 'hintedtarball'. Stop.
`

Make dependencies explicit

How about using git submodules for dependencies, in particular the exotic ones like fonttools and nototools?

Most of the other build dependencies can be figured out, but this one will be rather cryptic for people who build noto-emoji from source:

sascha@debian:~/src/noto-emoji$ make flags/CH.png

No color download

Only the regular variant is available as ttf

Add/change source SVGs for emoji images added/changed in #28 and #54

Bringing the repo up to date with new emoji in #28 is wonderful! It would be great to have the SVGs to match.

Thanks!

Missing letter in Noto Sans Hebrew

The letter 'Chaf sophit' (the 11'th letter's end-of-word form) is missing.

SVG for 'eyes' 1f440 is not transparent

The .png version of 1f440 is transparent but the .svg version has an opaque white background.

Please re-arrange the font files

Re-arranging them to the following categories:

• SuperOTC
• OTC
• OTF
• Subset-OTF
• HW-OTF

In terms of directories will really help with choosing the fonts to use (for packagers, and users).

Please consider this, thanks.

Problems building on Linux Mint (build/renamed_flags dir has symlink issues and build fails)

Hello. My build keeps failing. I have wiped and re-cloned the whole project several times and I keep getting this problem. This is what I'm seeing:

symbolic links with weird names in build/renamed_flags

and unusual errors on the commandline:

(There are consistently eight or so symlinks missing in renamed_flags after this error. I don't know what's up with the bogus "directory/symlink/png" that shows up in the error message:

"ln: failed to create symbolic link 'build/renamed_flags/emoji_nototools/nototools/notoconfig.py.png': No such file or directory")

Any ideas of how to make this work?

ZWJ sequences starting with 'Golfer' (U+1F3CC) are not supported

This is just for the sake of keeping the record. Off-line, I reported this to @dougfelt (after discovering it while testing Noto Color Emoji on CrOS: see https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/414249/ ) and he found out the root cause as below:

ZWJ sequences starting with 'Golfer' (U+1F3CC) were added to Emoji 4.0 final (they're not included in Emoji 4.0 beta). Because the latest version of Noto Color Emoji was made based on Emoji 4.0 beta. Those sequences are missing from the font.

With Noto Color Emoji, those sequences at
http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/emoji-zwj-sequences.html (e.g. U+1F3CC U+FE0F U+200D U+2642 U+FE0F ) are not shaped properly by harfbuzz and Chrome.

Legacy PUA emojis

I found some code in the repository that handles legacy Google PUA codes for the ten original emoji flags and for keycaps. To view some old data that I either do not want to or cannot convert to proper Unicode codepoints, it would be nice to build a (non-default) version of the font that supported more and other PUA codes. Every Japanese carrier had their own (and Apple shared a set with Softbank).

Example: Thumbs Up

Unicode	Apple iOS / Softbank / Yahoo / Disney / Vodafone / J‑Phone	KDDI au EZweb (a)	KDDI au EZweb (b)	NTT Docomo i‑mode / Willcom / E‑Mobile	Google Gmail …
U+1F44D 👍	U+E25A 	U+E4F9 	U+EFD2 	U+E727 	U+FEB97 󾮗

I could provide a file with these mappings, but I'm not sure how and where to include it in the code, so cannot really write a pull request myself – unless someone could provide some helpful pointers.

Color Emoji Regional Indicator S too high

NotoEmoji-Regular.ttf is out of date

SVG formats for emoji are the Android 4.4 versions when they should be Android 7.1

NotoColorEmoji.ttf not a valid font in Windows

I've tried installing NotoColorEmoji.ttf in Windows 10 and it is not a valid font to install. From https://www.google.com/get/noto/ I've downloaded and extracted the font from both the individual font .zip and the complete Noto .zip file without success. An online font converter failed to convert it to a .ttf or an .otf for testing as well.

Format 14 cmaps needed for Noto Color Emoji font

In order to do easier font selection, supporting cmap format 14 tables in the Noto Color Emoji font for the variation sequences defined in Unicode would be very useful.

The exhaustive list is at http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/StandardizedVariants.txt (the sequences whose second field is "emoji style", which is the same as all sequences ending in FE0F).

Can someone update SVG to Android Nougat7.0

Hello there,

Its really nice to see projects like this on github

Seems the SVG's are outdated by a year or so.

Can the Mod /Contributer Kindly update the SVG's to the newest one as shown in Android Nougat 7.0

Awaiting valued update ASAP

Thanks in advance :-)

ID with multibytes words

Hello,

i m happily using this emoji set.

I notice that sometimes the SVGS have an id with some multibyte word as descriptor ( to me they appear as japanes characters )
While this is maybe regular, it is not in all SVGS but break the possibility running window.btoa in javascript over the svg content.

Since i see no usefulness in exporting those IDs, i was asking if is possible to remove them.

color font support is not added until 4.4, it will be helpful to add a note in readme to mention this

This is not really a code issue, just a suggestion on adding a note in the readme to mention that the color font support is not added until Android 4.4, so if anyone who's trying to load the color emoji font on device < Android 4.4, that won't work.

License for pngs and svgs?

Tools are under the Apache license, version 2.0.

Under which of those licenses (or some other license), are the pngs and svgs?
