As a emoji in work presentations connoisseur, it pains me that the best ✨ emoji implementation was the original Twemoji, before in 2017 it went from purple to just boring yellow sparkles. ( I also hate that sparkles has been used to signal AI features :( ) Also, always embed actual PNGs of your emoji into your presentations, to avoid a surprise jankmoji (normally the windows ones) when your stuff gets loaded on to the event presentation laptop
one honk maybe more

The original Twemoji pack was remarkably well adopted (I guess because of it's very permissive licence), it really did turn into the 201X's famfamfam silk icons that were so common at the dawn of the Web 2.0 era

I get incredible nostalgia when I come across these, It's wild to think how many websites ended up using these at the time (and still today, I mean bgp.tools uses the globe one because it's better than the emoji ones...)
