Genmoji
Custom emoji people create from a description, right in your app's text.
Overview
Genmoji lets people describe the emoji they want and drop it into a message or note. Apps using the system text controls get Genmoji automatically, as inline images that flow with the text.
Custom text engines can support them too, by storing and rendering the adaptive image glyphs that represent each one.
