all emoji sets here fall under licenses that allow adaptation and remixing (editing) of the emojis provided. please read their individual terms, though - some licenses may require attribution!
for those that want to start editing emojis, the filetype that Inkscape and most emoji sets use is β.svgβ, which is a lot more flexible than an image made of pixels (such as .pngs and .jpgs); svgs allow for better, smoother editing of shapes and can be exported into raster (.png) at essentially any size.
i canβt make any actual emoji tutorials, i highly recommend googling things for help! (please avoid sending me asks about it too, my askbox is REALLY cluttered.)
