This demo shows how to use emoji-picker-element with Google Noto Color Emoji as a custom emoji font.
Note that this carries a performance cost due to downloading the additional font file. Also note that alignment may be off in Safari due to a WebKit bug, and that not all browsers support COLR fonts. Use this approach with care.
Also note that the emoji version is pinned to 15.1 because this is the latest version supported by Google Noto Color Emoji as of this writing (August 2024).
