Microsoft has made its 3D emoji open source, allowing artists to remix and tweak them

Microsoft is open-sourcing over 1,500 of its 3D emoji, allowing artists to remix and expand on them. Starting Wednesday, almost all of Microsoft’s 1,538 emoji collections will be published on Figma and GitHub, in an effort to foster greater innovation and inclusion in the emoji arena.

While Microsoft launched emoji in Windows 11 last year and 3D versions in Microsoft Teams in February, the corporation did not intend to open source its work at the time.
