 Replying to [comment:6 pento]:
 > The best I have is to add a `grunt build` rule to update the regex based
 on the current regex in `twemoji.js`. That's pretty fragile, though -
 changes to `twemoji.js`'s formatting would break it. In theory, it would
 only break when updating `twemoji.js`, so maybe it wouldn't be too bad?

 I don't think that this is a big issue, the current formatting
 [https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/blob/v1.0.0/twemoji.js#L224 exists
 since version 1.0.0]. We could also write our own task to generate the
 regex: https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/blob/v2.1.0/twemoji-
 generator.js#L214-L263

 In [attachment:35293.2.patch] I added support for diversity, doesn't work
 for new Emoji though.
