Also, @dfox it would be awesome if you added a setting to use Twemoji instead. I love how they look and their js API is rly simple.

@configurator not necessarily. The newer versions of Unicode emoji allocation for modifiers by placing emojis next to each other essentially. Twemoji parses these and converts them to SVG files.
-
@Dacexi that can, and should, still be done with a font. In technical term it's called contextual alternatives, though it can also be implemented using font ligatures which are a bit simpler.
-
@configurator true. As long as it works and has pretty emojis I'm happy :)
-
@configurator This went deep. Are you font creator or some sort of worked into it??
-
@github no, I just like it when things are done right.
Just had a thought. The Twitter app does not use Twemoji.
"Hey, let's redraw all emojis but not use them"
