Emoji variants
Many emojis support multiple variants. Typically this is different skin tones, but in some cases can be other variations (hair color, gender, etc.).
Variant popup
If an emoji that has variants is selected in the picker, the available variants are displayed (along with the original emoji).
When a variant is selected, the popup will close and the selected variant will be emitted.
Variant data
Some variants are associated with a particular Emoji version. For any such variants that are not supported by the current version of Emoji, the variant will not be shown.
Disabling variants
If you do not want to show variants in the picker, specify the showVariants: false
option.
