What each app does to your emoji
Which emoji survive each app, what it replaces or counts, and sets to copy for each one.
The apps
2 sets worth keeping
Reads the same on every app
Redrawn enough to change the message
These are picks rather than measurements. The first set is made of shapes every vendor draws roughly the same way; the second is faces and hands whose expression moves between sets. See both for yourself on the platform comparison.
The part nobody can fix from your end
An emoji is a character, and every app draws it with whichever set it ships. You can pick emoji whose meaning survives the redraw, and you can count the characters before a field refuses them, but you cannot make the picture the same for everybody. That is worth knowing before an emoji carries the weight of a sentence.
The emoji counter measures a draft against each of these limits, and the emoji list is where to pick from.

Reading about an emoji, and using one
A catalog tells you what an emoji means and copies it for you. Emojery is what turns it into a reaction on the page you found it for, next to everyone else's.
