3 years ago @yarikoptic Interesting you should raise this, as it's something I had looked into a bit and included on part of our backlog. I hadn't gone deep on making all of the decisions/explorations around this yet, but I'll include relevant snippets below (note: you won't be able to see any of the 'internal' issues that are linked)

- Emoji support

Some resources I stumbled across the other day, capturing here for posterity:
- https://github.com/missive/emoji-mart
Emoji Mart is a Slack-like customizable emoji picker component for React
- https://github.com/missive/emoji-mart#custom-emojis
You can provide custom emojis which will show up in their own category. You can either use a single image as imageUrl or use a spritesheet as shown in the second object.
- https://github.com/missive/emoji-mart#custom-icons
You can provide custom icons which will override the default icons.
- https://github.com/missive/emoji-mart#storage
By default EmojiMart will store user chosen skin and frequently used emojis in localStorage. That can however be overwritten should you want to store these in your own storage.

Easy to parse data and spritesheets for emoji
This project provides easy-to-parse data about emoji, along with a spritesheet-style images for use on the web.
The current version supports Emoji version 13 (2020)
- https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data#installation
The git repo is pretty big (almost 4GB), but contains everything.
If you want to use npm, you can:
npm install emoji-datasource. This will only install the 32px full-fidelity spritesheets (with fallback images). If you want different size sheets (16, 20 or 64px), quantized sheets (128 or 256 color), non-fallback (clean) sheets, or the individual images (at 64px) then you'll need to install additional npm modules.Originally posted by @0xdevalias in https://github.com/sparkletown/internal-sparkle-issues/issues/188#issuecomment-817416820
A chaser for #1393 (a "fix" proposed in #1394) : I wonder how much work would adding emoji picker such as e.g. https://github.com/missive/emoji-mart would be?
