Emoji support for WPF

Emoji.Wpf

Emoji.Wpf is a proof of concept implementation of Emoji for WPF.

Features

• Very experimental for now.
• Colour emojis! 😨 💩 🍰 ✈ ✏ 📞 ☘
• Full vector emojis!
• Lightweight; does not embed a font, or emoji images.
• Works with old .NET versions such as 3.0.
• Uses the Segoe UI Emoji system font, even on Windows 7 or Windows 8 by implementing Microsoft’s COLR/CPAL font format extensions.
• Free, opensource software, with no strings attached.
• Available as a Nuget package.

Example

Just add an Emoji.Wpf.RichTextBox to your XAML:

    <Window ...
            xmlns:emoji="clr-namespace:Emoji.Wpf;assembly=Emoji.Wpf"
            ...>
        ...
        <emoji:RichTextBox Name="SampleTextBox" FontSize="24" Margin="5"/>
        ...
    </Window>

More classes are to come, but feedback on what is needed is welcome.

Help needed!

I am not a very good WPF or even C# developer, but I think this could become a very useful and robust library if given enough care. Any help appreciated!
