The emoji-cheat-sheet.com repository uses HTML and CSS to display emojis, while emoji-cheat-sheet uses Markdown tables. The latter approach is more lightweight and easier to maintain, but may lack some visual appeal compared to the HTML/CSS implementation.

emoji-cheat-sheet provides a more streamlined and accessible format for developers, making it easier to copy and paste emoji codes directly into their projects. However, emoji-cheat-sheet.com offers a more visually appealing interface that may be preferred by some users for quick reference.

Both repositories serve as valuable resources for emoji enthusiasts and developers, with each having its own strengths and weaknesses depending on the user's specific needs and preferences.

gemoji, on the other hand, is a more technical solution maintained by GitHub. It's particularly useful for Ruby developers and those working with GitHub-related projects. While it may require more programming knowledge, it offers deeper integration capabilities and access to emoji metadata.

The choice between the two depends on the user's needs, technical expertise, and the specific project requirements. Front-end developers might prefer emoji-cheat-sheet.com for its simplicity, while Ruby developers and those working closely with GitHub's ecosystem may find gemoji more suitable.
