OK, I normalized what we have with Slack:

Categories are:

- People (smiley)
- Nature (leaf)
- Food & Drink (hamburger)
- Celebration (gift)
- Activities (football / soccer ball)
- Travel & Places (airplane)
- Objects & Symbols (glasses)

I also added a `tabicon` field to the data structure so we can specify which emoji (by name) should be on the tab.

And I added a `fullname` which could be used as the tooltip or complete name displayed for the category.

**important side effect** (which was kinda the point of this, not just to mimic Slack’s categories although they are clearly a bit better) the custom tab finally has _only_ truly custom Emoji…

… not the confusing, weird mish-mash of “not categorized” official unicode Emoji and custom it had before. That was a bug in my opinion.
