I've revisited the Emoji spec to improve the Ruby Emoji regex. At some point they added their own suggestion for a (quite) simple regex. While it matches some undesired things (like simple digits), it's pretty concise:

/(?:\p{RI}{2}|\p{Emoji}(?:\p{EMod}|️⃣?|[󠀠-󠁾]+󠁿)?)(?:‍(?:\p{RI}{2}|\p{Emoji}(?:\p{EMod}|️⃣?|[󠀠-󠁾]+󠁿)?))*/

Building the page, I had realized that detection of Emoji names in https://github.com/janlelis/unicode-sequence_name was pretty strict, since only fully qualified Emoji where considered (= require Emoji sequences to have invisible character "Variation Selector 16" at all proper places). However, real-world Emoji sequences might miss some VS16 codpoints and still display correctly. The gem now also returns the respective sequence name in these cases.

Ruby IRB tip: How to always get an "off-by-one" result:

$ irb --inspect {_1.to_s.succ}

If you happen to use one of these popular terminal-based Ruby apps:

rubocop
terminal-table
irbtools
tty-progressbar

…you should really run:

$ bundle update unicode-display_width

It now processes ASCII characters much faster (thanks Dima Fatko for the idea) so things are now 100x faster *at least*. Should definitely be noticeable!

Inspired by the latest improvements to #IRB, I have released Irbtools 4.0. It is the first version to include custom commands, so some of Irbtoools' methods now support "ri" syntax:

code Array#reverse

This will directly show the reverse method's source code in the REPL.

Also new: Using dollar-space as a prefix allows you to call the system shell from your IRB session! So this just works:

$ top

Have you ever combined heredocs with format strings:

<<TEMPLATE % [23, 42]
First value: %s
Second value: %s
TEMPLATE

Unusual to have the substitutions in the beginning, but I kind of like it 🤔
