Zulip converts :) to the 1F642 Unicode emoji and promotes the same emoji in the popular section of the emoji picker. Previously Zulip has labeled 1F642 as "slight smile". While that name conforms to the Unicode standard (which describes the code point as SLIGHTLY SMILING FACE), it didn't match our use case of the emoji. If a user types :) or selects the first smile in the emoji picker they probably mean to express a regular "smile" and not a "slight smile", which raises the question why they are only smiling slightly. This commit relabels 1F642 as 😄 and our previous 😄 263A as :smiling_face:. Note that 263A looks different in our three supported emoji sets, so it is not suited to be our "default smile". This change does not require a migration since our emoji system stores both unicode points and names and handles name changes transparently. |

The files in this subtree are part of the Zulip web frontend, and are also incorporated by the Zulip mobile app.
Note that the deployment cycles are different:
-
In the webapp, this code is deployed in the same way as the rest of the web frontend: it's part of the server tree, and the browser gets it from the server, so the client is always running the same version the server just gave it.
-
In the mobile app, this code is deployed in the same way as the rest of the mobile app: it's bundled up into the app binary which is uploaded to app stores and users install on their devices. The client will be running the version built into their version of the mobile app, which may be newer, older, or simply different from the version on the server.
The mobile app always refers to a specific version of this code; changes to this code will appear in the mobile app only after a commit in the mobile app pulls them in.
