Pet project update: translating emojis into URLs

Last week I had the idea of offering emoji support for URLs in a website. It was pretty well received - some people had suggestions for emojis, others requests for features like customization.

Today I had a pretty interesting request of translating emojis from URLs into text, so I wrote a couple scripts, built a data set, and implemented a proof of concept for it.

Examples:

yoursite.com/🦇🚶‍♂️
translates to: yoursite.com/batman-walking

yoursite.com/🔥-in-the-🕳️
translates to: yoursite.com/fire-in-the-hole

The feature is included in emoji-express 1.1.1
