+# Bundled emoji data
+
+These are pinned copies of the upstream data files that
+`tools/gen-emoji-data.py` compiles into ZoiteChat's emoji picker catalog
+at build time. Bundling them means every ZoiteChat package exposes the
+same emoji, names, categories and search keywords, independent of the
+GTK runtime version or the emoji data a distribution installs under
+`/usr/share/gtk-3.0/emoji`.
+
+Nothing here affects what is sent over IRC: the picker inserts plain
+Unicode sequences. Official builds register the bundled Noto Color Emoji
+font privately for consistent rendering, while preserving platform font
+fallback if registration is unavailable.
