list of emoji set repositories

other emoji repositories:
- twemoji, the open-source library that twitter and discord use
- mutant standard, an unofficial, alternative emoji set, including custom emojis such as pride flags, fantasy species, and roleplaying icons
- MOREmoji, a twemoji derivative (most likely you know them by the :3 or UWU twemoji-styled designs)
- Firefox OS, a discontinued set for the Firefox operating system
- OpenMoji
- microsoft segoe ui (the bold outlines one)
all emoji sets here fall under licenses that allow adaptation and remixing (editing) of the emojis provided. please read their individual terms, though - some licenses may require attribution!
for those that want to start editing emojis, the filetype that Inkscape and most emoji sets use is “.svg”, which is a lot more flexible than an image made of pixels (such as .pngs and .jpgs); svgs allow for better, smoother editing of shapes and can be exported into raster (.png) at essentially any size.
i can’t make any actual emoji tutorials, i highly recommend googling things for help! (please avoid sending me asks about it too, my askbox is REALLY cluttered.)
