[demo] Emojis in overpass turbo!! ๐๐๐
Posted by mmd on 7 January 2017 in English. Last updated on 10 January 2017.Emojis are only a fingertip away on your iPhoneโฆ it was only a matter of time until they show up on OSM as well. The following query finds all those emojis - worldwide: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/l6r
Thanks to tyr_asd for the MapCSS enhanced version below
A bit more serious: how about searching for mixed language names like name=Vinh-Loi Asien-Supermarkt ๆฆฎๅฉๅธๅ ด : check out the following query! http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/l6s
Do you find regular expressions with full Unicode support useful and want to see them in one of the next official Overpass API releases? Itโs your turn now, vote for it on Github or leave a comment here!
