Description

### What

Would it be possible to give users access to Custom Emoji like we have in P2?

### Why

Could be a great touch to give users access to standard emoji - but also potentially others.

> also include icons from our services like WP, Woo, Jetpack, Tumblr, Pocket Casts, Day One, etc.

### How

We have this in place internally - but I'm not sure of the mechanism. Is it worth a spike to see if/how it could be included for all WPCOM users? Could be cool for writers.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by investigating how the existing P2 custom emoji mechanism works and whether it can support all WordPress.com users; done means a defined scope and a decided implementation path.
