Description

If the goal is to replicate Notion look as closely as possible, shouldn't we use the same emojis?

Notion uses the Twitter emojis, avaliable here: https://github.com/jdecked/twemoji.

We could use jsDelivr as a CDN to deliver them, see for instance: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jdecked/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f60a.svg.

Something like <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jdecked/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f60a.svg" alt="😊" width="20" height="20" /> works but probably we would need to create a react component and maybe use dangerouslySetInnerHTML(?) I really don't know, I'm not familiar with react nor the repo logic, but this does not seem like a very difficult thing to implement.

It would be an awesome feature to have because I personally very much dislike the default Windows 11 emojis.
