Steps to reproduce

Find commit messages that include emojis

Run the following query by using BigQuery

SELECT
  LANGUAGE,
  repo,
  commit,
  message,
  REGEXP_EXTRACT_ALL(REPLACE(message, ' ', '  '), r'(?:\s|^)(\:[A-Za-z_]+\:)(?:\s|$)') emoji
FROM
  `bigquery-public-data.github_repos.commits` a
JOIN
  `fh-bigquery.github_extracts.ght_project_languages` b
ON
  a.repo_name[OFFSET(0)] = b.repo
WHERE
  REGEXP_CONTAINS(message, r'(?:\s|^)(\:[A-Za-z_]+\:)(?:\s|$)')
  AND b.percent > 0.5

the resulting data table is available here

Select language and emoji columns for further analysis

SELECT
  LANGUAGE,
  emoji
FROM
  `in-full-gear.Dataset1.commits_with_emojis`,
  UNNEST(emoji) AS emoji

The result is available in emoji.csv

Run R script to obtain the summary information

library("dplyr")
emoji<-read.csv(file="emoji.csv", h=TRUE)
top_lang<-emoji %>% 
  group_by(language) %>% summarize(count=n()) %>% top_n(n=20, wt=count) %>% 
  ungroup() %>% select(language)
stat<- emoji %>% merge(top_lang) %>%
  group_by(language, emoji) %>% summarize(count=n()) %>% ungroup() %>%
  arrange(desc(count)) %>% group_by(language) %>% slice(1:10) %>% ungroup() %>%
  group_by(language) %>% summarize(top_emojis=paste(emoji, collapse=" "))
write.csv(stat, row.names=FALSE, file="stat.csv")
