Well in truth, emoji coming from a font, eg. EmojiOne Color, Segoe Emoji, even
Symbola or Noto can not be rendered to document canvas as color for now --
neither with the projects cross platform Emoji.json based Emoji widget (bug
100100) -- which remains experimental bcz of bug 105689 -- nor with os/DE
provided symbol pickers.

We can place emoji's with the Special Character dialog, with the broken Emoji
toolbar button, and with the os/DE provided symbol pickers, but they are not in
color as VCL can not resolve color in fonts. Rendering fonts to canvas requires
new dev work as in bug 104403, bug 105488, and possibly bug 121327

Meaning that if we want color Emoji's we have to provide them (likely just some
subset) as graphics (SVG, not ODG/SVM) in the new "icon" or "symbol" gallery. 

Now it might be appropriate to pick a selection from the CC-BY license SVG for
FontAwsome (bug 127983), leaving Emoji One and Symbola for the Special
Character dialog.

For naming the gallery entries, I'd incorporate either the UNICODE glyph names,
or better just the numeric codepoint for each glyph actually used.
