Is there a specific range of unicode code points which can be checked for emojis?
<p>Do emojis occupy a well-defined unicode range?</p>

<p>And, is there a definitive way to check whether a code point is an emoji in python 2.7?</p>

<p>I cannot seem to find any information on this.  A couple of sources have pointed to the range:</p>

<pre><code>\U0001f600-\U0001f650
</code></pre>

<p>But for example,  has the code point</p>

<pre><code>\U0001f918
</code></pre>

<p>which lies outside this range.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
