## What it is
A color and B&W emoji font built from Twitter's emoji artwork using the SVGinOT (SVG in OpenType) format, supporting ZWJ sequences, skin tones, and country flags. It installs as a system font on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with color rendering in apps like Firefox, Thunderbird, and Photoshop CC 2017+.

## Use cases
- get color emoji on linux
- install twitter emoji font on macos
- color emoji in firefox and thunderbird
- emoji font with country flags and skin tones
- replace missing emoji glyphs on windows
- use twemoji artwork as a system font

## When to choose
- you want Twemoji artwork as an installable system font
- you primarily use Firefox, Thunderbird, or Photoshop where color rendering works
- you need emoji support with ZWJ sequences, skin tones, and flags

## When to avoid
- you need color emoji in Chrome or other apps that don't support SVGinOT
- you don't want to change your Linux default serif/sans-serif/monospace fonts
- you need an emoji picker or image-based emoji rendering instead of a font
