This is interesting, but why would you not need this for default emojis as well? How can they get away with a single picture for dark/light and custom emojis not?

I get the desire here but I am sadly stripping the PR welcome from this, I am not sure I support this unless we look at this issue holistically. Do we have current “stock” emojis that fail us in a dark theme?
