Automated Updates

This repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically checks for Twemoji asset changes monthly and creates a pull request with optimized emoji assets. The workflow skips parser-only and documentation-only releases, optimizes SVG files using SVGO, and optimizes PNG files using pngquant and optipng.
