Sanitize names

[jsejcksn]

The names of recently-added emoji include indicator symbols: ⊛

Example:

emoji-essential/index.js

Line 9 in 6402a83

"🪡": "⊛ sewing needle",

It looks like you're scraping these. Unicode offers a "machine-readable" text format if you're interested. You don't seem to be scraping keywords or other data only available in the html pages, so it might be a better fit for this project.

If you are interested in adding keywords to the dictionary, this page might interest you.

Off-topic, but mildly-related: If you prefer electron scraping to puppeteer, care to share why? I've never seen someone use electron for that purpose, and I'm interested.

Yes as @jsejcksn wrote the ⊛ character is not part of the name: “Recently-added emoji are marked by a ⊛ in the name” - Full Emoji List, v15.1

@WebReflection are you interested in implementing this change? or open to a PR? I am using https://github.com/WebReflection/emoji-short-name via the accessible-emoji component in Tugboat and the ⊛ in the names is a big drag here and defeats the whole purpose of trying to increase access, Cc @zachleat

UPDATE: I added a workaround in webcbed #5. (EDIT: and webcbed #6)
Current code

UPDATE 2: Seems like Mac speech ignores ⊛ but I am sure some devices read “CIRCLED ASTERISK OPERATOR” out loud.
