npm install emoji-unicode-version

const emojiNameToUnicodeVersion = require('emoji-unicode-version');
// 6.1
console.log(emojiNameToUnicodeVersion('grinning'));
// 9.0
console.log(emojiNameToUnicodeVersion('rofl'));
```
### Get version from unicode
```js
const emojiNameToUnicodeVersion = require('emoji-unicode-version');
const emojione = require('emojione');
function unicodeToName(emojiUnicode) {
const emojiShortName = emojione.toShort(emojiUnicode);
const emojiName = emojiShortName.slice(1, emojiShortName.length - 1);
return emojiName;
}
// grinning, 6.1
console.log(emojiNameToUnicodeVersion(unicodeToName('😀')));
// rofl, 9.0
console.log(emojiNameToUnicodeVersion(unicodeToName('🤣')));
```
# About
Emoji name list is pulled from [EmojiOne](https://github.com/Ranks/emojione)
We grab the emoji unicode versions from [Emojipedia](http://emojipedia.org/unicode-6.1/).
[ZWJ sequences](http://emojipedia.org/emoji-zwj-sequences/) use the unicode version for the highest individual emoji in the sequence.
