Feature request: allow utf8 symbol in symbol name

[tobiasBora]

Thanks for this great package. Would it be possible to also allow UTF-8 symbols as emoji name (they might be easier to search/insert, for instance KDE allows you to insert emoji using Win + .)? This way I could type:

\emoji{😉}

instead of

\emoji{winking-face}

Thanks!

For that you can simply use the font directly, like this:

\newfontfamily\notoemoji{NotoColorEmoji}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textemoji}{\notoemoji}

And then use it like this:

\textemoji{🙂}

This way you can use any emoji that is available in the font.

Thanks for the nice workaround. The main issue here is that this may not share the font with the one used in this package, and I don't know if they do other tricks like resizing the image, adjusting space etc. But if not, I guess it would anyway be cool to provide this command out of the box, it still saves a few lines of typing ^^

I see, well, I don't understand half of the package's code, but, as far I can see, they look the same.

The difference is that this package uses a lookup table to define which character to use, while here we are directly using the emoji.
