Description
From discussion in https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/42433
We should have a configurable emoji for each circle to help for identifying them in the UI.
- Needs to be stored in the DB
- Needs to be added to the public API https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/43683
- Collectives might want to use this instead of the own emoji
- User interfaces need to be adapted to show it in
- Sharing UIs web+clients
- Probably mentions in talk
- Circles management in contacts

Research direction
Start with the linked discussions in issues 42433 and 43683, then trace how circles are stored, exposed through the public API, and shown in the listed web, client, Talk, and Contacts interfaces. Done means the emoji is configurable, persisted, available through the API, and displayed consistently across the affected surfaces.
