Mahjong Pieces

[Crissov]

This issue is a subset of #96 and therefore #83 and both depend on the resolution of #62. That means, the Segoe UI Emoji font in Microsoft Windows includes colorful graphics for Mahjong pieces.

On my current copy of Windows 10, MS seems to have replaced many of these very calligraphic characters with normal sans-serif for legibility. Maybe use some compatible open-source Chinese fonts for that?

The color scheme for bamboos and circles seem to have changed to match actual colorful pieces.

I don't no much about the game of Mahjong, and little more about East-Asian typogaphy, so this issue is not something I'm going to tackle on my own.

You can see the release history of :mahjong: in Windows at Emojipedia. Other pieces are using the same style, of course. Obviously, only the original release of Windows 10 used the calligraphic style.

PS: I've not yet found a public repository of all Microsoft Windows emoji glyphs. Cal Handerson's Emoji Data lacks it, for instance.
