Both Microsoft and Google have recently announced that they’ll be overhauling the way their emojis look. In the case of Google, their new emojis will first begin appearing in [Android 12](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12). As for Microsoft, their new emojis will first begin appearing in [Windows 11](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11) (and possibly Windows 10 too, but I can’t confirm that at this time). Microsoft’s new emojis will also begin appearing in their productivity suite, but that isn’t relevant to my feature request.

With that out of the way, I would like to see the overhauled emojis be implemented into Discourse. I wanted to bring this up because I know for a fact you can change the way emojis look on your forum when first setting up Discourse.
