ClipEmoji.com now supports your choice of skin tone! Just select a tone from the dropdown in the page footer, and the selected tone will be applied to all supported emoji.
In the course of developing this update, I was admittedly surprised to realize that the basic "facial expression" emoji -- 😄, 😂, 🤔, and so forth -- aren't toneable! The emoji for which tone support has been added by the Unicode Consortium -- the ones in this list -- are mostly the "hand" emoji (e.g. 👋🏾, 👍🏼, 🙌🏿), plus the ones that depict people's activities or appearances (e.g. 👩🏽🦳, 👨🏻🏫, 🏄🏽♀️).
The only emoji not supported by ClipEmoji yet are the three "holding hands" emoji (👫, 👭, 👬), where the two people depicted have different skin tones. The main thing to be figured out there is an elegant UI to apply tones to that emoji, that doesn't "get in the way" of the other thousands of emoji!
The ClipEmoji site will remember your selection for future visits to the site, too (via a cookie).
I also added an About page to ClipEmoji.com, so check that out if you're in the mood for even more ClipEmoji-related reading.
Enjoy the updated ClipEmoji.com! 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
