## What it is
A Python-based build tool that packages Apple's Color Emoji designs as TTF fonts for Linux, Windows, and the web. It produces distro packages, a Segoe UI Emoji replacement for Windows, and a web font build with GSUB shaping and @font-face CSS.

## Use cases
- get apple emoji on linux
- replace segoe ui emoji on windows
- use apple emojis on my website
- install apple color emoji font on ubuntu
- emoji font for web with @font-face
- make linux look like macos emojis

## When to choose
- you want Apple's emoji style on Linux or Windows
- you need a web-ready emoji font with unicode-range splitting
- you want distro-native packages (deb/rpm/arch)

## When to avoid
- licensing of Apple assets is a concern for your use
- you rely on Qt apps that mishandle color fonts
- you need guaranteed emoji rendering across all toolkits

- maturity: active
- function: graphics
- domain: cross-platform, web-development, desktop-applications
