    The list lacks support for skin tones. It should be structured in a way that allows everyone to easily find the correct place when adding new pairs of emotes.

    I’m not sure if there’s a specific reason for keeping the list in a .txt format, but this might lead to issues if the offset shifts. A better solution would be to use a key-value structure, where the key is the base language (probably English), and the value is the pair of emotes. This would allow mapping multiple foreign words with the same meaning to a single emote pair.

    For example: accident → 🚗💥 This could be translated into Polish as wypadek or stłuczka, so we would map it as: wypadek: accident stłuczka: accident and then retrieve the correct pair of emotes.

    Another issue is when a word doesn’t exist in a certain language. In that case, leaving an empty row might look like a mistake.

    In this review, since there are no code changes, I will refer to the code in the following repository: https://github.com/emojiseed/bip-emojiseed/tree/testing

    If a simple list of word-to-emote-pair correlations is considered sufficient, then there isn’t much to do. However, for easier usage and better maintainability, it would be beneficial to implement this as a library that provides:

    An API to retrieve pairs of emotes

    Support for importing translations, custom sets, and themes

    Functionality for searching through the data

    Regarding the website used to view emojis:

    after uploading csv it only displays question marks instead of emojis

    It lacks filtering options — ideally, it should allow filtering by meaning or selecting specific emotes for which we want to view the corresponding pairs

    text is too small

    Inside of tests is node_modules directory which should be added to .gitignore and removed
