Metro App Identify All Emoticons from Segoe UI Symbol

Question

Is there a way of listing ALL emoticons from the Segoe UI Symbol font?

I can get all the symbols no problem, but how do I identify which of these are emoticons?

Answer 1

As far I know, there is no direct way to do that. With a little bit of googling I came up with:

emoticons => Segoe UI Symbol (87)

emoticon: 2639-263b, 2661, 2665, 2764, 1f48b, 1f48f-1f49f, 1f600-1f64f (you can just check unicode ranges to verify if it's emoticon or not)

You are probably better off using charmap + doing manual labour work and hardcode them into your application, since it's not that much of work anyways.

There's one awasome app called Xaml Candy, just have a look. Must have app for developer. It is helpful to choose appbar icons. DISCLAIMER : I am not the developer of this app nor I am promoting it.
