## What it is
OpenMoji is an open-source emoji set of 4,000+ handcrafted emojis following the Unicode Emoji standard, available as SVG and PNG in color and black variants. It is a design project by HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd with a consistent styleguide, skin tone support, and distribution via npm, CDN, fonts, and an iOS app.

## Use cases
- find open-source emoji set for a website
- use emoji as SVG icons in an app
- add emoji to a design system with consistent style
- get emoji images with permissive license for commercial projects
- use emoji with skin tone variants in a chat app
- serve emoji from a CDN in a web project

## When to choose
- you need a consistent, styleguide-driven emoji set with SVG sources
- you want emojis under CC BY-SA 4.0 with attribution instead of restrictive platform licenses
- you need color and outlined variants plus skin tone support

## When to avoid
- you need an emoji font for production use (fonts are experimental)
- you require a license without attribution or share-alike obligations
- you need platform-native emoji appearance matching Apple or Google
