How to identify same emoji with different colours?

Example: the should be considered as being the same

Edit: Currently I am using emoji package

import regex
import emoji
exm = "poli kariku fans adi like    sub tharamo"
characters = regex.findall("\X",exm)
for char in character:
  if char in emoji.UNICODE_EMOJI:
     #do something
emoji unicode python-3.x python

There is no method available on the emoji package to treat same symbols with different colors similar. However, we can achieve this by comparing the emoji names with the common string (Here it is thumbs_up)

Try the below code.

import regex
import emoji
exm = "poli kariku fans adi like    sub tharamo"
characters = regex.findall("\X",exm)
for char in characters:
  if char in emoji.UNICODE_EMOJI:
      if "thumbs_up" in (emoji.demojize(char)):
          print("It is thumbs_up")

For the list of emojis supported and their names refer to the source code here.

Each thumbs up emoji starts with codepoint 1F44D ('THUMBS UP SIGN'), followed by the skin tone component codepoint, so you can filter them like this:

thumbs_up = chr(0x1F44D) # or '\N{THUMBS UP SIGN}' or just ''
thumbs = filter(lambda c: c.startswith(thumbs_up), characters)
for thumb in thumbs:
    print(thumbs)

I don't think you need to use regex for your use case you can just use the length of the emoji:

import emoji

NUM_COLUMNS = 4
TABLE_COLUMN_WIDTH = 18

def is_emoji(s):
    return s in emoji.UNICODE_EMOJI

def is_default_emoji(s):
    return len(s) == 1 and s in emoji.UNICODE_EMOJI

def get_default_emoji(s):
    return s[0] if s in emoji.UNICODE_EMOJI else None

def pretty_print_line(line):
    print(''.join(word.ljust(TABLE_COLUMN_WIDTH) for word in line.split()))

text = "poli kariku fans adi like       sub tharamo"

pretty_print_line("string is_emoji is_default_emoji get_default_emoji")
print("=" * NUM_COLUMNS * TABLE_COLUMN_WIDTH)
for s in text.split():
    pretty_print_line(f'{s} {is_emoji(s)} {is_default_emoji(s)} {get_default_emoji(s)}')

Output:

string            is_emoji          is_default_emoji  get_default_emoji 
========================================================================
poli              False             False             None              
kariku            False             False             None              
fans              False             False             None              
adi               False             False             None              
like              False             False             None              
                True              False                              
                True              False                              
                True              False                              
                True              False                              
                True              False                              
                True              True                               
sub               False             False             None              
tharamo           False             False             None

You could use some logic similar to get_default_emoji for your use case since it returns the same emoji regardless of the presence or lack of presence of a skin tone modifier.
