def text_to_emoji(text):

1. Importing the emoji
Library:
import emoji
- The
emoji
library is imported here. This library helps convert text containing emoji aliases (such as:smile:
) into actual emojis (like 😊).
2. Defining the text_to_emoji
Function:
def text_to_emoji(text):
return emoji.emojize(text)
- The function
text_to_emoji
takes a stringtext
as input. - It uses the
emoji.emojize()
method from theemoji
library to convert emoji aliases (like:smile:
) within the input text into actual emoji characters (like 😊). - The function returns the converted text.
3. Getting User Input:
input_text = input("Enter text with emoji aliases : ")
- This line prompts the user to input text, which can include emoji aliases (for example,
Hello :smile:
). - The user input is stored in the
input_text
variable.
