Unicode 9 support!

[autopulated]

Twemoji has been updated to include unicode 9 emoji – is it possible to re-build and include that data now?

I totally understand the complexity of adding those new double-wide Emoji into a spritesheet, but would it be possible to just add the single-wide Emoji in Unicode 9.0? Just these here:

🤣 🤤 🤠 🤡 🤥 🤢 🤧 🤶 🤴 🤵 🤰 🤦 🤷 🕺 🤺 🤸 🤼 🤽 🤾 🤹 🤳 🤞 🤙 🤛 🤜 🤚 🤝 🖤 🦍 🦊 🦌 🦏 🦇 🦅 🦆 🦉 🦎 🦈 🦐 🦑 🦋 🥀 🥝 🥑 🥔 🥕 🥒 🥜 🥐 🥖 🥞 🥓 🥙 🥚 🥘 🥗 🥛 🥂 🥃 🥄 🛴 🛵 🛑 🛶 🥇 🥈 🥉 🥊 🥋 🥅 🥁 🛒

I personally have no need for the silly double-wide ones. I just want some of the extremely popular ones in U9.0 like 🤣 and 🤢 .

Thanks for a wonderful library!

I think what @jhuckaby is referring to as double-wide emojis are the various kinds of emoji sequences described in UTS#51 alias Emoji X.0 (currently 4.0 and 5.0 beta), whereas single-wide emojis are code-points defined in the Unicode Standard (currently 9.0 and 10.0 beta). The former should indeed be part of a separate issue since they are harder to get right.

we already support several sequences (from emoji 3.0), but not the latest. closing this in favor of #77 which is the same thing
