@li910802 Thanks for the suggestion. After Unicode 15 emoji are more widely supported on devices, we will be open to importing the Unicode 15 set into this library. https://github.com/github/gemoji/pull/244#issuecomment-1315647217

Somewhat related to this discussion, I wonder if making the versions of gemoji match the Unicode emoji versions would be a net-positive for consumers and make it more explicit that it will be a "breaking change" (e.g., you'll need to support new emoji images) when going from one version to the next.

For example, if I only have the emoji images for Unicode emoji 14.0, I'd use gemoji "~>14.0.0". Upgrading to gemoji "~>15.0.0" would be an explicitly opted-into upgrade.

If my app only supports deployment targets where I know Unicode emoji 15.0 exists, I won't be blocked by gemoji updating as well.

I'd love some feedback on this idea!

@eliperkins That would make it immediately obvious as to which Unicode version is supported by which version of gemoji, but for other purposes I think it will be detrimental since the new versioning policy would clash with semver practices.

For example:

• gemoji 15.1.0 supports Unicode 15.1. When we fix some bugs with gemoji, we can release that as gemoji 15.1.1, but what if we add some Ruby features unrelated to Unicode? We'd have to tag the next release gemoji 15.2.1, which is a misnomer because Unicode 15.2 does not (currently) exist.
• gemoji 15.1.0 supports Unicode 15.1. Let's say we update gemoji Unicode support to Unicode 16. This is a backwards-compatible change, since all previous emoji are still supported and apps should be safe to upgrade to this new gemoji version, but we still have to tag it gemoji 16.0.0 (major release = a breaking change in semver) to match the Unicode version.
