About
Emoji Translator is a web app that converts English sentences into emoji sequences. Built with a Python backend using Beautiful Soup to scrape and structure emoji definitions from Unicode data sources into a searchable CSV dataset, paired with a JavaScript frontend that maps words and phrases to their closest emoji match in real time. The translator handles synonyms, common slang, and multi-word expressions to produce surprisingly accurate emoji translations. Originally built as a fun experiment in web scraping and natural language matching, it demonstrates practical use of data extraction pipelines feeding into an interactive UI.
