Lots of emoji are already supported in many browsers. I think it'd be nice to
use native emoji when possible and only twemoji if needed. However, that may
mean sometimes things are shown native and sometimes they are twemoji images,
so that inconsistency might not be good either.
I found https://github.com/pento/x1f4a9/issues/4 as an example of detecting if
certain emoji are supported natively. I don't see a built-in twemoji option
for it. One tricky part would be figuring out what emoji to detect. Different
browsers & OS have different levels of emoji support. For example, simple
emoji like smile are probably supported, but newer emoji are not. So I'm not
sure how to practically if a check should look for support of "all" emoji or
just certain ones, or different levels, etc.
