Script Advantages and Pain Points Solved

Difficulty Identifying Complex Emoji: Many multi-component Emojis (such as families, couples, flags) or characters with skin tone variations display inconsistently across different devices, making it hard for users to quickly and accurately determine their true meaning.
Inconsistent Platform Display: Webpages or operating systems often use plain, system-default Emoji fonts, resulting in a display quality that falls short of the refined style found on major platforms.
Lack of Contextual Information: Users only see the Emoji itself and cannot easily find its official English name, category (such as "Food & Drink," "Symbols"), or corresponding Unicode encoding information.

Forced High-Definition PNG Display: Core Feature: Regardless of the webpage's settings, the script always forces the loading of high-quality Google-style PNG images to display Emojis, ensuring the visual experience is clear, uniform, and aesthetically pleasing.
Instant Name and Category Information: Upon selection, a tooltip displays the Emoji's official English name (optimized with capitalized first letter) and major group category, providing complete and accurate contextual information.
Full Support for Skin Tone Variations: The script's underlying data structure is specifically designed to handle all Emoji variations with skin tone modifiers, ensuring that all shades of hand gestures or people are correctly recognized and displayed.
Support for new Emojis: Users can view the latest Unicode-standard Emojis immediately, without waiting for operating system or webpage updates, with proper display and recognition of newly added symbols.
