Description

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts/#unicode-range-desc

Inspired by @Crissov’s comment in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2855#issuecomment-562926062:

emoji world indeed make more sense in a font descriptor than as a font family.

@font-face {
  font-family: Twemoji;
  unicode-range: emoji;
} 

emoji would be a new <unicode‑range> keyword equivalent to enumerating all the Unicode codepoints where emoji reside.
