Known issues

This style sheet creates a PDF where each emoji is actually an embedded image rather than a character using the Apple Color Emoji typeface. This means you won't be able to correctly copy and paste emjois from the resulting .pdf files.

The encoding of the .tex must support emoji's, that is unicode characters. So switch your encoding to something like UTF-8.
