We need some emoji 📦

I propose combining Scratch's forum emojis with their comment emojis and 📦 and

What emojis should we have?

Emoji should be instanced with _emoji_ syntax, that Scratch uses, or the :emoji: syntax that GH uses.
Also 🎉 needs to be an emoji too

...we should find a nice-looking set; like the Google ones.

@NanaLan EmojiOne looks nice. Similar to Twitter emojis and they're licensed under Creative Commons.

We could just use emojify.js 📦 jk let's use EmojiOne, seems better

[andrewjcole]

If you're looking for original ones, I'd be willing to make some.

[Tymewalk]

@andrewjcole Maybe you could do them in that style you did for the "leaving OpenSprites" page?

[bates64]

@andrewjcole @Tymewalk it might look a little weird considering the small size of emoji and that doodle style - I say we use EmojiOne

[Tymewalk]

@NanaLan You make a good point, although we should still consider it. Original emoji would look nicer than just using EmojiOne.

[andrewjcole]

I agree with @NanaLan, that style probably wouldn't really work too well in such a small size. I do like that EmojiOne has SVG support, but it is gigantic, and we have no idea what kind of emojis are in there. I'll leave it to you guys to decide.

[Tymewalk]

@andrewjcole EmojiOne has EVERY emoji. As in, all the emojis Unicode has ever added.
We could just pick out a few from the entire set and use those.

[Arinerron]

Someone should work on this cause it is "World Emoji Day" (who even decided that?!)

[bates64]

So I guess the general is both _scratch syntax_ and/or :emoji syntax: and we'll support basic faces like 😜 😄 😢 and 😠, and lastly ones like 📦 👍 and 👎?

This probably isn't urgent for release?
