I’m curious, how is this different than using a text layer with an emoji string?

[saniul]

@jbrennan: Essentially no difference, except limiting the public interface to things that are only relevant when dealing with single Characters, as opposed to multi-Character Strings.

I was thinking about adding an additional behavior, which mostly makes sense for this class and not for TextLayer: say, you change the frame of the EmojiLayer to a given value, then call updateFontSizeAutomatically, and it selects the largest font size that fits the current frame.

Hm, while I appreciate the contribution, I'm not yet sure this is something we'll use enough to justify the maintenance burden. What do you think about waiting to see how much this comes up?

Of course. I’ll close the PR for now.
