Q. Where does the emoji data set come from?

[flex-kwoncheol]

I am trying to make an emoji-related feature based on the emoji set in this repository. I want to check the source of this emoji set before making a decision.

Is the set from WebFx(Slack references this set)? Because the emoji names look identical to this set.

Thanks in advance.

the data come from the official Unicode data files

The short names in this repo are a mix of the original short names from Campfire, GitHub and Slack, official Unicode codepoint/sequence names, and derived names based on common suffixes.

Other data comes from the Unicode standard and older Unicode emoji proposals.
