Thank you.

Currently our text normalization functions are in
https://github.com/PyThaiNLP/pythainlp/blob/dev/pythainlp/util/normalize.py

If you like, you can try to fit the new functions in that file structure.

Thank you for pointing that out.
I apologize — I didn’t look carefully enough and missed the function in the file. I’ll take another look and try to fit the new functions accordingly.

You can also try to use the list defined here:

pythainlp/pythainlp/__init__.py

Lines 20 to 22 in a069230

	# Paiyannoi, Maiyamok, Phinthu, Thanthakhat, Nikhahit, Yamakkan:
	# These signs can be part of a word
	thai_signs = "\u0e2f\u0e3a\u0e46\u0e4c\u0e4d\u0e4e" # 6 chars

(it doesn't include ฯลฯ though)

	# Create an emoji-sentiment map from `emoji_sentiment`
	emoji_to_tag = {}
	for sentiment, emojis in emoji_sentiment.items():
	tag = f" <<EMO_{sentiment}>> "
	for emo in emojis:
	emoji_to_tag[emo] = tag
	# Alternatively, we can have the static map predefined.
	def replace_emoji_with_sentiment(sentence: str) -> str:
	for emo, tag in emoji_to_tag.items():
	sentence = sentence.replace(emo, tag)
	return sentence

We can also try to reduce the number of text passes from three to one by having an emoji-sentiment map.

Thanks! would it be okay if I add this code to the text normalization function?

[bact]

please take it and use it in any way you want :)

[triphopMahithi]

Okay, I think this is the same as emojiconv.py
