Or encode any data into emojis: https://github.com/tejado/BaseEmoji
It's not about encoding, moreso about mapping pixels to a palette, but thats pretty neat too :3

#22Feels like a good match for rust's 'fearless concurrency'.
With the large number of emojis available, do you still get decent results if you don't use any single emoji twice?

#25I see that you use euclidean distance of perceptual color and named your color function bad_color_distance. My only input here would be to try something like the CIEDE2000 color difference formula to see if the result can be further improved.
I am currently just looking into other color spaces, but I'll have to check that out too! Thanks! :D

#26Somebody is actually working on a language made entirely of emojis called "emojilang, so this could be a way to write a secret message.
Not a new idea for programming languages: https://esolangs.org/wiki/Emoji

#27Read the README, and noticed the picture. My first thought was “why don’t they show the result?”.
Then it hit me. Excellent job!

#28So ... like https://github.com/schani/metapixel or any other photomosaic program, but only one tile per pixel?

#29I wonder if you could use this for some kind of "secret" message. Or perhaps like a parity system like RAR files had back in the day to rebuild any of the other images if one were to get lost.
Mistaken PAR for RAR? In addition to mostly numbered RAR's archives, the PAR added the safety and recovery layer afiak.

#30I think Floyd-Steinberg could probably allow you to have multiple pixels per emoji.
