/*
  Emoji merger script, quick hack of a tool to:
  - update some missing emoji from an external source
  - sort the emoji
  - remove all multipart emoji (reactions don't allow them)

  Merges emoji from here: https://gist.github.com/oliveratgithub/0bf11a9aff0d6da7b46f1490f86a71eb
  to the simpler format we're using.
