Description:
Currently, emojis in the emoji picker are limited to Emoji 12. The current set seem to be the one in the npm package emojione (emojione-assets in the dev dependencies). However, this project has been discontinued due to a change of name. It should be replaced by the newer emoji-toolkit package. See more about it in this Readme.
This is of course a minor issue, but I figure it can also be quite easy to fix. Thank you for your time and attention !
Steps to reproduce:
Search for an Emoji 12 or newer emoji, such as 🪓.
Expected behavior:
I would like to have a more up-to-date version.
Actual behavior:
There is no 🪓 in the emoji picker.
