Why DBEmoji
DBEmoji is a reference database, not a gallery. Every one of the 3,781 emoji in Unicode Emoji 16.0 has a page with its Unicode name, CLDR short name, codepoint and version — copied from Unicode source data and re-verified on every build — plus Unicode's CLDR keywords and, where GitHub defines one, its GitHub shortcode. Meanings and tone are ours, and labelled as such.
