    Summary description: Use color emojis more conveniently

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The bxcoloremoji package lets users output color emojis in LaTeX
    documents. Compared to other packages with similar functionality, this
    package has the following merits:

    * It supports all major LaTeX engines.
    * Emojis can be entered as the characters themselves, as their Unicode
    code values, or as their short names.
    * It works reasonably well in PDF strings when using hyperref.
    * Emojis can be handled properly even in Japanese typesetting
    environments.

    This package has been widely used among the Japanese LaTeX community,
    but there are already many emoji packages on CTAN and TeX Live. To
    avoid uploading a large amount of emoji image data that are essentially
    identical, the package was revised in version 1.0 so that the image
    output was delegated to the twmojis package. Therefore, this package
    now contains no image data.
