Outdated images in gemoji

This is a gemoji issue really, but only pull requests are accepted on that repo, not issues, and I wanted to see if anyone's looked into this.

^ Those changed in iOS7/Mavericks to not have the card background (new unified versions visible in Safari)

Any idea on the best way to regenerate the emoji images so that a pull request can be sent upstream?

There are several other images that got some tweaks, but can't think which ones right now.

@jwheare I'd start with tmm1/emoji-extractor.

I was actually experimenting a while ago with writing something new based on that code to use as the source of truth for mroth/emojistatic but I got stuck on trying to identify the proper unicode codepoints while extracting from a font file (that code names files as 1.png, 2.png, 3.png... etc). (There are a number of reasons I've been looking to move away from gemoji dependence and as a plus that would net me 160x160px source images).

However for extracting 4 files for a PR it could be fine. LMK if you want some eyes on it. Or if you think it's worth forking it and working on a more modern update I can try to take a stab at it. We're going to end up hitting this repeatedly since since Apple already said more are coming in iOS8 AND it sounds like we're potentially going to be getting new stuff with Unicode 7.0 this summer which has 643 new pictographic symbols defined...

Frankly, removing the gemoji dependency would make me happier too. Thanks for the extractor link, I might take a look.

I'd love a replacement for gemoji - having all 3 sets of images directly in this repo would be a good base for other stuff built on it

as of pr #11 i'm extracting the apple images myself. we're now using 10.10.3 images
