## Description

Emojione is a cross-platform emoji set and image library designed to ensure visual consistency regardless of a user's operating system or device. It functions as an emoji replacement framework that substitutes standard unicode emojis with custom graphics in websites and applications.

The project focuses on custom emoji rendering and web UI asset management to prevent mismatched styles across different platforms. By replacing native system emojis with specific image assets, it provides a controlled frontend user experience and maintains a standardized visual style.

The framework employs asset resolution, regex-based tokenization, and DOM-based element injection to identify and replace text characters with hosted image files.
