    From the README

    A simple library that provides standard Unicode emoji support across all platforms.

    Twemoji v14.0 adheres to the Unicode 14.0 spec and supports the Emoji 14.0 spec. We do not support custom emoji.

    The Twemoji library offers support for all Unicode-defined emoji which are recommended for general interchange (RGI).

    The folks over at MaxCDN have graciously provided CDN support.

    MaxCDN is shut down right now, so in the meanwhile use a different CDN or download the assets. (See Maxcdn has shut down, cdn not working anymore. · Issue #580 · twitter/twemoji).

    Use the following in the <head> tag of your HTML document(s):

    This guarantees that you will always use the latest version of the library.
