I just came across an awesome African emoji set and would like to adopt it wholly to replace equivalent emoji from the apple emoji set I am using now (the discourse default). I am not entirely clear on how best to do this. Ideally I’d match the filenames with the 4 standard versions and upload that in a folder, equivalent to the [4 standard ones provided](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/public/images/emoji) that all apparently also have matching filenames so you can switch between them and still have emoji work. The filenames for the African emoji set are completely different now though there will be matches for the standard versions, and this would be a fun contribution to make.

Suggestions?
