import sys, random

## HOW TO USE:
##    python emojitext.py "your text here" zws
## zws: This option is used to enable a zero-width space character to prevent discord from
##		converting your characters into flags.

DIGIT = [':zero:', ':one:', ':two:', ':three:', ':four:', ':five:', ':six:', ':seven:', ':eight:', ':nine:']
ALTS = ['ben', 'crap', 'jx9', 'tuts', 'thinking', 'smirk', 'tada', 'snus', 'punk', 'face_palm', 'facepalm', 'clap', 'ok_hand', 'smile', '1234']

ZWS = '\u200b' if len(sys.argv) > 2 and sys.argv[2] == 'zws' else ''

def to_emoji(word):
	if word in ALTS:
		print(':%s:' % word, end=ZWS)
	else:
		for c in word:
			if random.randint(0, 100) >= 50 and c == 'b':
				print(':b:', end=ZWS)
			else:
				if c.isdigit():
					print(DIGIT[int(c)], end=ZWS)
				else:
					print(':regional_indicator_%s:' % c, end=ZWS)

if len(sys.argv) > 1:
	spl = sys.argv[1].lower().split(' ')
	for word in spl:
		to_emoji(word.strip())
		print('', end=' ')
	print('')
