## What it is
A markdown emoji cheat sheet listing emoji shortcodes with rendered icons, auto-generated from the GitHub Emoji API and the Unicode Full Emoji List. It serves as a quick reference for finding the right emoji shortcode for GitHub, markdown, and other platforms.

## Use cases

## When to choose
