Is it possible to convert windows emoji to apple emoji using your library?

[VadimChorrny]

I work on Windows, I write posts in the project through markdown,
I insert Windows emoji there,
I would like to convert emoji to apple style at the output in markdown files,
as Telegram does

Hey @VadimChorrny ! Very good question, I actually have no idea how Telegram implemented that feature. Emojis unicodes display based on your OS, so my first thought is that they are transforming Windows emojis to images of the Apple's ones. However, I just had a look at https://web.telegram.org/ and I can see plain emojis in the source HTML. Maybe it's because I'm on MacOS so they don't need to do the conversion, I don't know.

Please check on your side how the HTML code looks like and we will see if there is any possible way of doing so.

I checked on macOS and Windows. On macOS, I got emojis from Apple. And on Windows, I got emojis from Windows.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the result I wanted (

That's the expected behaviour @VadimChorrny as I wrote above:

Please check on Windows the Telegram web HTML elements to see how the Windows emojis you write are being displayed as Apple emojis. We might be able to take some hints from that.
