title: Extract emoticons from a text
body: <p>I need to extract text emoticons from a text using Python and I've been looking for some solutions to do this but most of them like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18283681/regular-expressions-emoticons">this</a> or <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14571103/capturing-emoticons-using-regular-expression-in-python">this</a> only cover simple emoticons. I need to parse <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons" rel="nofollow noreferrer">all of them</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I'm using a list of emoticons that I iterate for every text that I have process but this is so inefficient. Do you know a better solution? Maybe a Python library that can handle this problem?</p>
