Split text file on \n and process each line with some regex

if no match on ^#.+, then process line, i.e.:

U+1F62E U+200D U+1F4A8 ; 13.1 # 😮‍💨 face exhaling

For the other lines:

• Get everything before ; and split and add them to an array
  /.+(?=;)/
• Number with 1 decimal between ; and #
\(?<=; )\d+.\d\
• Emoji
  \(?<=#\s).\
• Text after emoji
  \(?<=#\s.+\s)[\w\-\’ \s:,]+\

Use latest Node.js to get as many emojis extracted as possible.

For the first line, grab unicode emoji version number:
/(?<=v)\d+.\d/

Then do if not starting with # until true and do the regex above.

Can now use the unicode-emojis-unique-id-json library. Need to change key id to plaintext and create the codebook from that.
