Emoji name/shortcode/codepoint cross-walk API

Look up by emoji glyph ('🚀'), CLDR shortcode (':rocket:'), or name keyword and get the canonical name, shortcode, category/group, and the Unicode codepoint sequence — the bidirectional cross-walk agents need to render or interpret emoji. Answers 'what is 🚀', 'shortcode for fire', 'codepoints of 😀', 'emoji for thumbs up'.
