hello Pirate,

How do I build twemoji.js in the first place? Using dh --with nodejs?
Will it run without node.js dependencies?

As expected, this:

override_dh_auto_build:
	uglifyjs.terser -o twemoji.min.js twemoji.js

fails because twemoji.js has not been built. If it's supposed to be
built by --with nodejs, can you recommend a similar package?

Many Thanks and Best Regards,
Felix
