NIP-30

Custom Emoji

draft optional

Custom emoji may be added to kind 0, kind 1, kind 7 (NIP-25 ) and kind 30315 (NIP-38 ) events by including one or more "emoji" tags, in the form:

["emoji", <shortcode>, <image-url>]

Where:

• <shortcode> is a name given for the emoji, which MUST be comprised of only alphanumeric characters and underscores.
• <image-url> is a URL to the corresponding image file of the emoji.

For each emoji tag, clients should parse emoji shortcodes (aka “emojify”) like :shortcode: in the event to display custom emoji.

Clients may allow users to add custom emoji to an event by including :shortcode: identifier in the event, and adding the relevant "emoji" tags.

Kind 0 events

In kind 0 events, the name and about fields should be emojified.
