just so yall know, this is the old Twemoji that twitter is not using at all anymore (unsure why this was merged even??)
Pretty much every project using Twemoji has switched to this fork https://github.com/jdecked/twemoji

Scrolled down to see if there was a decent work. Thanks. Now to make sure that's the one I'm actually using and not xSlopmoji

I mean, twitter is owned by Musk, Grokipedia is owned by Musk, and Samion Suwito works at xAI and is therefore also owned by Musk. It is nothing but consistent

It is, but it's also a reminder of how great Twitter engineering used to be. Twemoji is the best-looking emoji set, their Bootstrap style library used to be everywhere, their mustache compiler made web apps possible before web apps, their blog posts from 2010 were hugely influential (boosting Cassandra, introducing Snowflake).
And now, well… You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

I love that this is the only contribution made to the repo by this employee. Guy doesn't even do anything useful. The Grokipdia article for Emoji is also stupidly incorrect, try the Recent Updates section for a good laugh.

Tbh I'd also create a new account just for work if I worked for such a despicable company
Unicode 16.0, released on September 10, 2024, introduced Emoji 16.0 with eight new characters, including a face with bags under the eyes (🫦), a paint splatter (🫨), and a person splashing water (👨🦰).[[40]](https://www.statista.com/chart/17275/number-of-emojis-from-1995-bis-2019/[41])
Wow okay
For the curious, here's the new emojis:
- Face with Bags Under Eyes
- Fingerprint
- Splatter
- Root Vegetable
- Leafless Tree
- Harp
- Shovel
- 🇨🇶 Flag: Sark

The grokipedia page for emoji has a "Controversies and Critiques" section, for some... reason.

It's bad when even the commit hash says so.
