Hello there,

I am creating an app and I want it to be safe for kids, I want to use Emoji but I need to exclude to middle finger Emoji.
So basicly I want to call the Emoji extension with a string array of Emoji to exclude.
Do you see what I mean and is this currently possible?
I notice that the extension has a public constructor that takes an
EmojiMapping: public EmojiExtension(EmojiMapping emojiMapping).
Do you think I could somehow use that with code like:

EmojiMapping.GetDefaultEmojiShortcodeToUnicode()
  .Where(kv => !excludedList.Contains(kv.Key))

I don't know why anyone on the Emoji standards commity would approve a middle finger emoji anyway,

I also wondered if you considered storing the default Emoji mapping in a embedded resourse like a JSON or YAML file?
I think it would be easier to maintain and in the future you might consider a more complex object rather than a Dictionary<string, string>, like alternative shortnames or skin colour variations.

You can create a custom EmojiMapping

IDictionary<string, string> shortcodeToUnicode = EmojiMapping.GetDefaultEmojiShortcodeToUnicode();
shortcodeToUnicode.Remove(":middle_finger:");

builder.Use(new EmojiExtension(new EmojiMapping(
    shortcodeToUnicode,
    EmojiMapping.GetDefaultSmileyToEmojiShortcode())));
