Font

Real Emoji are available not only as Telegram stickers but also as an emoji font, which is exactly how the standard emoji work. The font is based on Twitter Emoji (Twemoji), therefore it contains also all the standard emoji.

Once you have the font installed, the new emoji characters can be written as sequences of existing emoji characters.

The characters are displayed in Google Chrome in black and white, because of technical limitations of this web browser.
