## What it is
Google's open-source Noto Emoji project providing Unicode-compliant emoji fonts, including a color emoji font (CBDT/CBLC format), a monochrome variable font, plus SVG/PNG assets and emoji metadata. It ships tooling for building and working with the emoji font files.

## Use cases
- add emoji support to an android app
- embed a color emoji font in a chromium-based browser or os
- get emoji svg and png assets for design work
- find emoji shortcodes and ascii equivalents metadata
- use a monochrome emoji variable font on the web
- build a custom emoji font from source

## When to choose
- you need a free, open-licensed (OFL) Unicode emoji font
- your target platform supports CBDT/CBLC color fonts (Android, Chrome, Chromium OS)
- you need raw emoji image assets or metadata for tooling

## When to avoid
- you need color font formats other than CBDT/CBLC, such as COLR or sbix
- you need emoji rendering on macOS outside Chrome
- you want a full text typeface rather than emoji symbols

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, image-processing, developer-tools
- domain: graphics, cross-platform, developer-tools
