Hey, we actually aren't trying to create a new standard, that would be awful and not what we're trying to accomplish. We're closely following the emoji standard published by Unicode, which all of the other major emoji sets follow as well.

Most implementations of emoji on the web use Apple or Twitter's emoji sets, which are not open source and may put you at risk of copyright infringement. Native implementation is fairly great on mobile at the moment, however desktop is another story, often displayed as just black boxes(most notably in Google chrome).
