See https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-emoji/issues/9:
“The noto-emoji project is two things at the same time:

    • an open-source toolchain for converting SVG assets to TrueType with
colored emoji glyphs;
    • freely licensed SVG assets for the Noto Emoji glyphs.

After a few minor changes, our toolchain could also consume other free assets
and generate optimized fonts for Twitter Emoji and Emoji One.”

The trouble is, this work to separate the two parts hasn’t yet been done. 
Meanwhile, the Twemoji and Emoji Two projects are web-focused, producing PNGs
for use on web pages but not traditional TTF fonts.

This is my attempt to use the Noto tooling to build Twemoji into a TTF.  I’m
open to discussion about the approach.  An alternative might be to modify the
existing google-noto-emoji-fonts package to distribute the tooling for use by
other packages, but, to be honest, I’m not sure exactly which files would need
to be included.

See also this email I sent to the Fonts SIG
(https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/O6C2BFTPST4YWCOVKVLI6PBSDXQ5FF7C/),
and a similar attempt for the Emoji Two font
(https://pagure.io/emojitwo-fonts).

> > # Work around UTF-8

I based the spec on that of google-noto-emoji-fonts, which does this too.  It
wasn’t clear to me exactly what UTF-8 issue it was supposed to be working
around, so I left it in for now.
