Comment (by ayeshrajans):

 With all the complexity of Unicode and character encoding aside, I wonder
 if we still need this workaround to support Emojis. We can now store them
 in the database with `utf8mb4`, and pretty much every browser should be
 supporting complex characters by now.

 At least in Windows, country flags still do not work. I'm not sure if this
 is because the glyphes are missing, or Windows cannot handle zero-width
 joiner characters correctly, but either way, pretty much every browser/OS
 has good Emoji support now.

 Using staticize means we have to rely on s.w.org design choices and for
 them to keep up with the Emoji standard. For example, I don't think they
 support the latest Emoji 13 standard.

 I'd like to propose that we re-evaluate if the native handling for Emojis
 are good enough. This can be of course done with a plugin as well, which
 removes `wp_staticize_emoji` filter whenever it is applied for a feed.
