title: Python parse comment by non string characters
body: <p>I am trying to split/parse comments which have strings, numbers and emojis and I want to do a generic code that can parse strings in different parts depending on the existence of an emoji in the comment.</p>
  <p>For example:</p>
  <pre><code>comment_1 = &quot;This is :) my comment :O&quot;
  comment_2 = &quot;&gt;:O Another comment to :v parse&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>The output should be something like:</p>
  <pre><code>output_1 = [&quot;This is&quot;, &quot;my comment&quot;]
  output_2 = [&quot;Another comment to&quot;, &quot;parse&quot;]
  </code></pre>
  <p>I have been thinking that I could do a parsing with special characters only, but maybe it will leave the &quot;O&quot; in &quot;:O&quot;, or the &quot;v&quot; in &quot;:v&quot;</p>
