I know that this is an old thread but really there is no need for third party emoji fonts -unless of course there is a specific reason for using one of those-.
Here is a font stack for the various color emoji fonts used in different OSes:
font-family: Apple Color Emoji,Segoe UI Emoji,NotoColorEmoji,Segoe UI Symbol,Android Emoji,EmojiSymbols;
So simply set enableEmoji = true in your project’s config, use the above CSS and type your emoji heart out using the cheat sheet.
