Currently CSS defines a set of five generic fonts [1]: serif, sans-serif, monospace, cursive, fantasy I'd like to propose expanding this to include a generic font for emoji characters: emoji The 'emoji' value would map to whatever emoji font is available on a given platform (e.g. Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Noto Color Emoji). Part of the motivation here is that when Unicode defined a mapping of emoji characters into Unicode, it explicitly unified some of these with existing symbol codepoints. If an author relies on system font fallback to choose a font there's no guarantee an emoji font will be prioritized over a symbol font, since it's difficult for a user agent to distinguish between symbol vs. emoji usage. Specifying the 'emoji' value in a fontlist would prioritize the use of color glyphs for all codepoints covered by the emoji font. Thoughts?
