I am transliterating data into India language using python in google colab, but encountered error: AttributeError: module 'emoji' has no attribute 'UNICODE_EMOJI'
The error occurs to the second line in the code:
for word in line_list:
if word in emoji.UNICODE_EMOJI:
new_line_list.append(emoji.demojize(word))
emoji package in installed and imported version is 2.0.0

You can use the function distinct_emoji_list() to extract emojis in a string and return a list of found emojis, then call emoji.demojize() on each emoji in that list to convert it into its meaning.
so having:
line_list = ['Hello World! 😄', 'Goodbye World 😅']
new_line_list = []
for word in line_list:
emojis = emoji.distinct_emoji_list(word)
new_line_list.extend([emoji.demojize(is_emoji) for is_emoji in emojis])
Printing new_line_list would give
[':grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:', ':grinning_face_with_sweat:']
latest version of emoji==2.1.0 has no attribute Unicode_emoji. So, try to uninstall the existing version and install emoji==1.7.0
I found this emoji.UNICODE_EMOJI and emoji.UNICODE_EMOJI['en] as an error.
So, I got it solved using emoji.distinct_emoji_list(test)
where, test is a string.
cheers!
