 Hi, I would like to work on this one.

 From what I see, the emoji detection logic is still printed inline. Even
 though it is a module now, the inline output keeps extra JS in the
 document. It seems cleaner to move it fully to an external module file.

 My plan would be to move the logic into a dedicated JS file, keep using
 the existing wp-emoji-loader handle, and pass the settings via the script
 module data filter instead of printing them inline.

 Before I prepare a patch, I just want to confirm this direction is
 aligned. Also, do we need to preserve anything specific around the global
 _wpemojiSettings for backward compatibility?

 Happy to work on a patch once confirmed.

 Thanks.
