What it does
Fluent Emoji is Microsoft’s open emoji artwork collection. The repository organizes symbols into asset folders with visual treatments and metadata linking names, keywords and Unicode values.
Fluent Emoji gives designers Microsoft’s emoji artwork as an asset collection. Each symbol has a named folder, with visual treatments and a metadata file. For example, the first-place medal folder contains 3D, Color, Flat and High Contrast treatments. Its metadata records the Unicode value, spoken name and keywords.
Use the selected treatment as an explicit illustration in an achievement screen or reaction interface, keeping the corresponding name with it. The repository structure makes it possible to find the artwork and its meaning together; it does not provide an application-wide emoji font installer.
The collection is free under MIT, which allows adaptation and redistribution with the copyright and permission notice. Check the folder for the exact symbol and treatment your design needs.
