| This repository provides metadata to support UX around emoji. In particular, it describes how to construct an emoji picker with full support for skin tones. |

| `emoji_13_0_ordering.json` describes a grid layout for an emoji picker with 9 emoji per row for Emoji 13. As emoji evolves new orderings will be added, such as for Emoji 13.1. A snippet is shown annotated below: |
| |
| ```js |
| { |
| // The is the people section |
| "group": "People", |
| "emoji": [ |
| { |
| // This is the codepoint sequence for the emoji that should show in the grid |
| // Generally the base is the most neutral version available, such as the |
| // genderless gold skintone version. |
| "base": [ |
| 128583 |
| ], |
| // These are alternate versions, typically shown as a long-press flyout |
| "alternates": [ |
| [ |
| 128583 |
| ], |
| [ |
| 128583, |
| 127995 |
| ], |
| // ...etc... |
| ] |
| }, |
| ``` |
