Idea: mode where emojis get an emoji element

[Simon-Laux]

Some older platforms (older android and older ubuntu touch, possibly also kaiOS) have problems with unicode emoji rendering even when updating the emoji fonts.

To solve that we should add a mode (not do it by default) where the emojis are parsed into their own element, so the platforms can display via a custom function that renders the emoji from a sprite map for example.

The emoji elements should include the whole grapheme cluster (“user-perceived character”) in a single emoji element:

• so both regional indicators that represent a country flag
• face emojis with skin color
• combined emojis such as family
• gendered emojis
• and other emojis that consist of multiple unicode characters

#56 already adds correct emoji parsing of those clusters, so we should take it's code as base for this.

@lk108 might need this for proper emoji support on ubuntu touch
