Support new emoji

[jackiehluo]

The last release of emoji added a LOT more that aren't listed anywhere on the Emoji Cheat Sheet. Would be really cool to get them into the list.

@jackiehluo do you mean iOS or what?

[jackiehluo]

I meant that the emoji from the Unicode 7.0 and 8.0 releases aren't listed—and we're about to get 9.0 soon, so it'll be even more out of date. Not sure what you mean by iOS. Emoji like 🙃 or :lightning_cloud: aren't included right now in the cheat sheet.

Thanks for clarifying @jackiehluo. I had no idea what you meant and assumed you meant Apple added new ones of their own in a recent iOS release or something. I'm curious which sources this project depends on and which sources emoji come from in general.

Edit: just noticed you work for Nylas. You guys are doing some cool stuff with Electron 😀

@jackiehluo I think it’s safe to assume this project is either stale or dead. It adds these non-standard “emojis”:

@Crissov those emoji are listed in this project unless I'm misunderstanding. See :suspect: on http://www.webpagefx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/ for example.

@adam-lynch Yes, these are the non-standard extensions supported by this project (and possibly others). The list of missing Unicode emojis is much longer, especially if one considers ZWJ sequences and skin tones. That’s why I provided links to projects that do cover Unicode 9.0 and Emoji 4.0, i.e. the state of the art as of late 2016.

Ah sorry I misread. Thanks @Crissov
