Work with messages that contain emojis that your bot can't see? Emoji Handler will take care of the problem.
pip install DiscordEmojiHandler
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import DiscordEmojiHandler as EHM
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
bot.emoji_handler = EHM.EmojiHandler(bot)
@bot.command()
async def say(ctx, *, text):
"""Command that says what you tell the bot to say"""
fixed_text = bot.emoji_handler.fix(text)
await ctx.send(fixed_text)
bot.run("TOKEN")To start you must initiate and get a EmojiHandlerObject from the EmojiHandler class. You'll need to pass your bot's instance.
EmojiHandlerObject.check(text)| Returns True or False
Checks the text for any invalid emojis. Returns False if an invalid emoji is found, else returns True. You do not need to pass anything in check.
EmojiHandlerObject.fix(content, colon=False)| Returns modified string
Checks the text for any invalid emojis and replaces found ones with just the emoji name (default) or with wrapped with : if colon is True.
EmojiHandlerObject.replace(content, text='🤔', invalid_only=True)| Returns modified string
Checks the text for invalid emojis and replaces found ones with text (default: '🤔'). By default only invalid emojis are replaced but you can set invalid_only to False to replace all emojis.

The DiscordEmojiHandler rewrite (version 1.6) changed the way that the EmojiHandler class works. However all versions below 1.7 are not supported as they don't work because the library was fixed in version 1.7 after critical mistakes were realized.
