The emoji font in FP Open is way behind the excellent Open Source emojione font, and the build would be greatly improved by making that the default instead.

Hi @mctoff,
@Roboe created a flashable .zip file accessable here
The .zip can be installed quickly via TWRP. This has to be done after every update though.

Yes, I’m aware of that. I wasn’t informed at the time that I’d have to do it every time I update, and it was sold to me as a labour-saving method to do it with the flashable zip. The zip is also woefully out of date, and I’d appreciate official support for EmojiOne instead.
I have opened https://bugtracker.fairphone.com/project/fairphone-fairphone-os-android-6/issue/82 to track this.

My zip file has latest open-source emojis from EmojiOne. I won’t support non-open source emojis —EmojiOne changed their license, same licence that made them what they are—, but if I would want to, I’d be required to pay.
That said, and for the same reason, no updated emojis from EmojiOne will be included in FP Open OS, but current open-source could be integrated.
P.S.: my flashable ZIP only need to be installed once on LineageOS —it’ll survive OTA updates. Sadly, FP Open OS (like AOSP) doesn’t provide a method to do this.
P.S.2: Oh, man, I really loved Mozilla’s fxemoji…

From the selection seen at the link you posted it seems they don’t have different skin colors which could be considered racially insensitive:
@paulakreuzer Yes, of course. But at that time, not a single emoji set had skin tones, not even Apple’s. Firefox OS died long ago and their emojis are unmaintained since then.
@mctoff: Oh, I’ll take a look at that
