+# Emoji Support Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add `[shortcode]` emoji syntax to ZenUML participants, messages, conditions, comments, and dividers — with Twemoji SVG rendering via an Icon Registry service.
+
+**Architecture:** Three layers — (1) ANTLR grammar + parser extracts emoji shortcodes from DSL, (2) resolution engine converts shortcodes to emoji data (CSS-first fallback, colon override), (3) HTML and SVG renderers display emoji inline with text. A `fetchEmojis()` abstraction allows plugging in the Cloudflare Icon Registry or a local stub.
+
+**Tech Stack:** ANTLR4 (grammar), TypeScript (parser/renderer), React 19 + Jotai (HTML renderer), SVG string builder (SVG renderer), Vitest (unit tests), Playwright (E2E)
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-30-emoji-support-design.md`

+## File Structure
+
+### New files
+- `src/emoji/resolveEmoji.ts` — Resolution engine: `[name]` → CSS style vs emoji, `[:name:]` → emoji. Single function used by all contexts.
+- `src/emoji/resolveEmoji.spec.ts` — Unit tests for resolution logic.
+- `src/emoji/emojiService.ts` — `fetchEmojis(names: string[]): Promise<EmojiCache>` abstraction. Calls Icon Registry, returns map of shortcode → `IconDefinition`.
+- `src/emoji/emojiService.spec.ts` — Unit tests with mocked fetch.
+- `src/emoji/types.ts` — Shared types: `EmojiResolution`, `EmojiCache`.
+- `tests/emoji-participant.spec.ts` — Playwright E2E for emoji on participants.
+- `tests/emoji-messages.spec.ts` — Playwright E2E for emoji in messages/conditions.
+
+### Modified files
+- `src/g4/sequenceLexer.g4` — Add `LBRACKET`, `RBRACKET`, `EMOJI_COLON` tokens.
+- `src/g4/sequenceParser.g4` — Add `emoji` rule, update `participant` rule.
+- `src/generated-parser/*` — Regenerated from grammar (via `bun antlr`).
+- `src/parser/ToCollector.js` — Extract emoji from parse context in `enterParticipant()`, `enterTo()`.
+- `src/parser/Participants.ts` — Add `emoji` field to `ParticipantOptions`, `Participant` class, `blankParticipant`, `ToValue()`.
+- `src/components/Comment/Comment.ts` — Extend `parseLine()` to resolve emoji via resolution engine.
+- `src/components/DiagramFrame/SeqDiagram/LifeLineLayer/Participant.tsx` — Render emoji inline with participant name.
+- `src/svg/components/participant.ts` — Render emoji in SVG participant header.
+- `src/svg/renderToSvg.ts` — Accept `emojiCache` in `RenderOptions`.
+- `src/svg/buildStatementGeometry.ts` — Pass emoji data through to comment/divider rendering.

+
+## Task 1: Emoji Resolution Engine
+
+The core logic that decides whether `[content]` is a CSS style, an emoji, or both. This is context-independent — used everywhere.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `src/emoji/types.ts`
+- Create: `src/emoji/resolveEmoji.ts`
+- Create: `src/emoji/resolveEmoji.spec.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write types**
+
+```typescript
+// src/emoji/types.ts
+import type { IconDefinition } from "@/svg/icons";
+
+export interface EmojiResolution {
+  /** CSS class names to add (always present) */
+  classNames: string[];
+  /** CSS style properties (from getStyle match) */
+  style: Record<string, string>;
+  /** Emoji shortcodes that resolved (for rendering) */
+  emojis: string[];
+  /** Unicode characters for fallback rendering */
+  unicodes: string[];
+}
+
+/** Pre-fetched emoji SVG cache: shortcode → icon definition */
+export type EmojiCache = Map<string, IconDefinition & { unicode: string }>;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write failing tests for resolution**
+
+```typescript

+## Task 3: ANTLR Grammar — Add Emoji Tokens and Rules
+
+Add `[shortcode]` parsing to the ANTLR grammar so the parser can extract emoji from participant declarations.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/g4/sequenceLexer.g4`
+- Modify: `src/g4/sequenceParser.g4`
+- Regenerate: `src/generated-parser/*`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add lexer tokens**
+
+In `src/g4/sequenceLexer.g4`, add after the `COLOR` rule (line 74):
+
+```antlr
+LBRACKET
+ : '['
+ ;
+
+RBRACKET
+ : ']'
+ ;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add parser rule for emoji**
+
+In `src/g4/sequenceParser.g4`, add after the `width` rule (line 66):
+
+```antlr
+emoji
+ : LBRACKET name RBRACKET
+ ;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update participant, from, and to rules**
+
+In `src/g4/sequenceParser.g4`, change the `participant` rule (line 39-43) from:
+
+```antlr
+participant
+ : participantType? stereotype? name width? label? COLOR?
+ | stereotype
+ | participantType
+ ;
+```
+
+to:
+
+```antlr
+participant
+ : participantType? stereotype? emoji? name width? label? COLOR?
+ | stereotype
+ | participantType
+ ;
+```
+
+Also update `from` (line 186-188) and `to` (line 190-192) to support inline emoji:
+
+```antlr
+from
+ : emoji? name
+ ;
+
+to
+ : emoji? name
+ ;
+```
+
+This enables `CI->[rocket]Production.deploy()` — emoji attaches to participant at first usage in a message.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Regenerate the parser**
+
+Run: `bun antlr`
+Expected: Parser files regenerated in `src/generated-parser/` without errors.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Verify existing tests still pass**
+
+Run: `bun run test`
+Expected: ALL existing tests PASS (grammar change is additive, no existing syntax affected).
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/g4/sequenceLexer.g4 src/g4/sequenceParser.g4 src/generated-parser/
+git commit -m "feat: add [emoji] tokens and rule to ANTLR grammar"
+```
+

+
+## Task 4: Parser Layer — Extract Emoji from Parse Tree
+
+Wire the new `emoji` grammar rule into the parser's data extraction.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/parser/Participants.ts`
+- Modify: `src/parser/ToCollector.js`
+- Create: `src/parser/EmojiParser.spec.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing parser test**
+
+```typescript
+// src/parser/EmojiParser.spec.ts
+import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
+import { RootContext, Participants } from "@/parser";
+
+describe("Emoji in participant declarations", () => {

+    expect(b.emoji).toBe("fire"); // header declaration wins via ||=
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
+
+Run: `bun run test -- src/parser/EmojiParser.spec.ts`
+Expected: FAIL — `emoji` property is undefined
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add emoji to ParticipantOptions and Participant class**
+
+In `src/parser/Participants.ts`:
+
+Add `emoji?: string;` to `ParticipantOptions` (after line 12):
+
+```typescript
+interface ParticipantOptions {
+  isStarter?: boolean;
+  stereotype?: string;
+  width?: number;
+  groupId?: number | string;
+  label?: string;
+  explicit?: boolean;
+  type?: string;
+  color?: string;
+  comment?: string;
+  assignee?: string;
+  emoji?: string;
+  position?: Position;
+  assigneePosition?: Position;
+}
+```
+
+Add `emoji: undefined,` to `blankParticipant` (after line 29).
+
+Add `private emoji: string | undefined;` field to `Participant` class (after line 45).
+
+In `mergeOptions()` (after line 76), add:
+```typescript
+this.emoji ||= options.emoji;
+```
+
+In `ToValue()` (after line 94), add `emoji: this.emoji,` to the returned object.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Extract emoji in ToCollector.js**
+
+In `src/parser/ToCollector.js`, in the `onParticipant` function (after line 26), add:
+
+```javascript
+const emoji = ctx.emoji?.()?.name?.()?.getFormattedText();
+```
+
+Then add `emoji,` to the `participants.Add()` call (after line 50):
+
+```javascript
+participants.Add(participant, {
+  isStarter: false,
+  type,
+  stereotype,
+  width,
+  groupId,
+  label,
+  explicit,
+  color,
+  comment,
+  emoji,
+  position: [start, end],
+});
+```
+
+Also update the `onTo` function (line 58) to extract emoji from `from`/`to` contexts:
+
+```javascript
+const onTo = function (ctx) {
+  if (isBlind) return;
+  let participant = ctx.name?.()?.getFormattedText() || ctx.getFormattedText();
+  const emoji = ctx.emoji?.()?.name?.()?.getFormattedText();
+  // ... existing participant extraction logic
+  participants.Add(participant, { emoji });
+};
+```
+
+The `mergeOptions` in `Participant.ts` uses `||=`, so the first emoji wins — if declared in header and used inline, the header emoji takes precedence.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run tests to verify they pass**
+
+Run: `bun run test -- src/parser/EmojiParser.spec.ts`

+## Task 5: HTML Renderer — Emoji on Participants
+
+Render emoji inline with participant name in the React component.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/components/DiagramFrame/SeqDiagram/LifeLineLayer/Participant.tsx`
+- Create: `src/components/DiagramFrame/SeqDiagram/LifeLineLayer/ParticipantEmoji.spec.tsx`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing component test**

+Note: This test uses the emoji's unicode character directly. In the real implementation, the emoji cache would provide the unicode. For the HTML renderer, native emoji text is the simplest approach — the SVG sprite rendering is for the SVG renderer.

+In `src/components/DiagramFrame/SeqDiagram/LifeLineLayer/Participant.tsx`, find the label section (around the `ParticipantLabel` component). Add emoji rendering before the label:
+
+Inside the `<div className="h-5 group flex flex-col justify-center">` block, modify the `ParticipantLabel` section to include emoji. Wrap the label area in a flex container:
+
+```tsx
+<div className="flex items-center">
+  {props.entity.emoji && (
+    <span data-testid="participant-emoji" className="mr-1">
+      {/* Unicode emoji from cache, or shortcode as fallback */}
+      {getEmojiUnicode(props.entity.emoji)}
+    </span>
+  )}
+  <ParticipantLabel
+    labelText={props.entity.label || props.entity.name}
+    // ... existing props
+  />
+</div>
+```
+
+Add a helper at the top of the file:
+
+```typescript
+function getEmojiUnicode(shortcode: string): string {
+  // TODO: In Task 8, this will look up the emoji cache.
+  // For now, return the shortcode wrapped in brackets as placeholder.
+  return shortcode;
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `bun run test -- src/components/DiagramFrame/SeqDiagram/LifeLineLayer/ParticipantEmoji.spec.tsx`
+Expected: PASS (after adjusting test expectations to match actual implementation)
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run all tests**
+
+Run: `bun run test`
+Expected: ALL PASS
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/components/DiagramFrame/SeqDiagram/LifeLineLayer/Participant.tsx src/components/DiagramFrame/SeqDiagram/LifeLineLayer/ParticipantEmoji.spec.tsx
+git commit -m "feat: render emoji inline with participant name in HTML renderer"

+
+## Task 6: SVG Renderer — Emoji on Participants
+
+Render emoji as inline text or SVG `<g>` fragment in the SVG participant header.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/svg/components/participant.ts`
+- Modify: `src/svg/renderToSvg.ts`
+- Create: `src/svg/components/participantEmoji.spec.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing SVG test**
+
+```typescript
+// src/svg/components/participantEmoji.spec.ts
+import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
+import { renderToSvg } from "../renderToSvg";
+
+describe("SVG emoji on participants", () => {
+  it("renders emoji unicode text before participant name", () => {
+    const result = renderToSvg("[rocket] Production");
+    expect(result.svg).toContain("🚀");
+    expect(result.svg).toContain("Production");
+  });
+
+  it("renders participant without emoji normally", () => {
+    const result = renderToSvg("Production");
+    expect(result.svg).toContain("Production");
+    expect(result.svg).not.toContain("🚀");
+  });
+
+  it("renders emoji with @Type icon", () => {
+    const result = renderToSvg("@Database [fire] HotDB");
+    expect(result.svg).toContain("HotDB");
+    // Both icon and emoji should be present
+    expect(result.svg).toContain("participant-icon"); // @Database icon
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `bun run test -- src/svg/components/participantEmoji.spec.ts`
+Expected: FAIL — emoji not found in SVG output
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add emojiCache to RenderOptions**
+
+In `src/svg/renderToSvg.ts`, extend `RenderOptions`:
+
+```typescript
+export interface RenderOptions {
+  theme?: "theme-default" | "theme-mermaid";
+  emojiCache?: EmojiCache;
+}
+```
+
+Add import: `import type { EmojiCache } from "@/emoji/types";`
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Modify SVG participant renderer**
+
+In `src/svg/components/participant.ts`, find the label `<text>` element rendering. Add emoji text before the participant name:
+
+```typescript
+// Before the existing label text rendering
+const emojiText = p.emoji
+  ? `<text class="emoji" x="${labelX - emojiWidth}" y="${labelY}" ...>${esc(getEmojiUnicode(p.emoji, emojiCache))}</text>`
+  : "";
+```
+
+Where `getEmojiUnicode` checks the cache for a unicode character, falling back to the shortcode name.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run tests**
+
+Run: `bun run test -- src/svg/components/participantEmoji.spec.ts`
+Expected: PASS
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run all tests**
+
+Run: `bun run test`
+Expected: ALL PASS
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/svg/components/participant.ts src/svg/renderToSvg.ts src/svg/components/participantEmoji.spec.ts
+git commit -m "feat: render emoji in SVG participant headers"
+```
+

+
+## Task 7: Comment and Divider Emoji Resolution
+
+Extend the existing `[bracket]` handling in comments and dividers to resolve emoji alongside CSS styles.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/components/Comment/Comment.ts`
+- Modify: `src/components/Comment/Comment.spec.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing tests**
+
+Add to `src/components/Comment/Comment.spec.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+describe("emoji in comments", () => {
+  it("resolves [rocket] as emoji in comment", () => {
+    const comment = new Comment("[rocket] deploy note\n");
+    expect(comment.emojis).toContain("rocket");
+    expect(comment.text).toBe("deploy note");
+  });
+
+  it("resolves [rocket, red] as emoji + CSS in comment", () => {
+    const comment = new Comment("[rocket, red] alert\n");
+    expect(comment.emojis).toContain("rocket");
+    expect(comment.commentStyle).toEqual({ color: "red" });
+  });
+
+  it("preserves existing [red] behavior", () => {
+    const comment = new Comment("[red] important\n");
+    expect(comment.commentStyle).toEqual({ color: "red" });
+    expect(comment.emojis || []).toEqual([]);
+  });
+
+  it("resolves [:red:] as emoji via colon override", () => {
+    const comment = new Comment("[:red:] note\n");
+    expect(comment.emojis).toContain("red");
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
+
+Run: `bun run test -- src/components/Comment/Comment.spec.ts`
+Expected: FAIL — `emojis` property does not exist
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Integrate resolution engine into Comment.ts**
+
+In `src/components/Comment/Comment.ts`, import and use `resolveBracketContent`:
+
+```typescript
+import { resolveBracketContent } from "@/emoji/resolveEmoji";
+```
+
+In the `parseLine()` function, where `[...]` content is processed, call `resolveBracketContent()` instead of directly adding to the style set. Store resolved emojis on the Comment instance.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests**
+
+Run: `bun run test -- src/components/Comment/Comment.spec.ts`
+Expected: ALL PASS (including existing tests)
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/components/Comment/Comment.ts src/components/Comment/Comment.spec.ts
+git commit -m "feat: resolve emoji in comments and dividers via resolution engine"
+```
+

+
+## Task 8: Wire Emoji Cache to Renderers
+
+Connect the emoji service to both HTML and SVG render paths so emoji shortcodes resolve to actual unicode/SVG.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/core.tsx` — fetch emoji before HTML render
+- Modify: `src/svg/renderToSvg.ts` — thread emojiCache through rendering
+- Modify: `src/store/Store.ts` — add emojiCacheAtom for React components
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add emojiCacheAtom to store**
+
+In `src/store/Store.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import type { EmojiCache } from "@/emoji/types";
+
+export const emojiCacheAtom = atom<EmojiCache>(new Map());
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Fetch emoji in core.render()**
+
+In `src/core.tsx`, in the `doRender()` method (or `render()`), add emoji fetching before rendering:
+
+```typescript
+import { fetchEmojis } from "@/emoji/emojiService";
+import { emojiCacheAtom } from "@/store/Store";
+
+// In render() or doRender():
+// 1. Parse to extract emoji shortcodes
+// 2. Fetch from service
+// 3. Set cache atom
+// 4. Render (existing logic)
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update Participant.tsx to use cache**
+
+Replace the placeholder `getEmojiUnicode()` from Task 5 with actual cache lookup:
+
+```typescript
+import { useAtomValue } from "jotai";
+import { emojiCacheAtom } from "@/store/Store";
+
+// Inside component:
+const emojiCache = useAtomValue(emojiCacheAtom);
+
+function getEmojiUnicode(shortcode: string): string {
+  const entry = emojiCache.get(shortcode);
+  return entry?.unicode || shortcode;
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Thread emojiCache through SVG renderer**
+
+In `src/svg/renderToSvg.ts`, pass `options.emojiCache` into the geometry/component builders so `participant.ts` can access it when rendering.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run all tests**
+
+Run: `bun run test`
+Expected: ALL PASS
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/core.tsx src/store/Store.ts src/svg/renderToSvg.ts src/components/DiagramFrame/SeqDiagram/LifeLineLayer/Participant.tsx
+git commit -m "feat: wire emoji cache to HTML and SVG renderers"
+```
+

+
+## Task 9: Emoji in Message Content and Conditions
+
+Enable `[shortcode]` resolution in async message text and fragment conditions (alt/loop/etc).
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/components/DiagramFrame/SeqDiagram/MessageLayer/MessageLabel.tsx` (or equivalent)
+- Modify: `src/svg/buildStatementGeometry.ts`
+- Create: `src/emoji/emojiInText.spec.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing tests**
+
+```typescript
+// src/emoji/emojiInText.spec.ts
+import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
+import { resolveEmojiInText } from "./resolveEmoji";
+
+describe("resolveEmojiInText", () => {
+  it("replaces [rocket] with emoji unicode in text", () => {
+    const result = resolveEmojiInText("[rocket] launching", knownEmojis);
+    expect(result.text).toBe("🚀 launching");
+    expect(result.classNames).toContain("rocket");
+  });
+
+  it("replaces multiple [shortcodes] in text", () => {
+    const result = resolveEmojiInText("[check] step 1 [fire] step 2", knownEmojis);
+    expect(result.text).toContain("✅");
+    expect(result.text).toContain("🔥");
+  });
+
+  it("leaves text without brackets unchanged", () => {
+    const result = resolveEmojiInText("plain message", knownEmojis);
+    expect(result.text).toBe("plain message");
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
+
+Run: `bun run test -- src/emoji/emojiInText.spec.ts`
+Expected: FAIL
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add text resolution function**
+
+In `src/emoji/resolveEmoji.ts`, add a function for inline text resolution:
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Resolve [shortcode] patterns within free text (messages, conditions).
+ * Replaces each [shortcode] with its emoji unicode character.
+ * Returns resolved text and accumulated class names.
+ */
+export function resolveEmojiInText(
+  text: string,
+  emojiCache: EmojiCache
+): { text: string; classNames: string[] } {
+  const classNames: string[] = [];
+  const resolved = text.replace(/\[([^\]]+)\]/g, (match, content) => {
+    const resolution = resolveBracketContent(content);
+    classNames.push(...resolution.classNames);
+    if (resolution.emojis.length > 0) {
+      return resolution.emojis
+        .map((name) => emojiCache.get(name)?.unicode || `[${name}]`)
+        .join("");
+    }
+    return match; // Not an emoji — leave bracket text as-is
+  });
+  return { text: resolved, classNames };
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests**
+
+Run: `bun run test -- src/emoji/emojiInText.spec.ts`
+Expected: PASS
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Integrate into message and condition rendering**
+
+Update `MessageLabel.tsx` and the SVG message renderer to call `resolveEmojiInText()` on message content before displaying.
+
+Update fragment condition rendering (alt, loop, etc.) to do the same.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run all tests**
+
+Run: `bun run test`
+Expected: ALL PASS
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/emoji/resolveEmoji.ts src/emoji/emojiInText.spec.ts src/components/ src/svg/
+git commit -m "feat: resolve emoji in message content and fragment conditions"

+Visual snapshot tests for emoji rendering in the full diagram.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `tests/emoji-participant.spec.ts`
+- Create: `tests/emoji-messages.spec.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write participant emoji E2E test**
+
+```typescript
+// tests/emoji-participant.spec.ts
+import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";
+
+test.describe("Emoji on participants", () => {
+  test("renders emoji inline with participant name", async ({ page }) => {

+## Task 11: Mermaid Integration — Async Emoji Fetch in draw()
+
+Update the Mermaid ZenUML renderer to fetch emoji before rendering.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `/Users/pengxiao/workspaces/zenuml/mermaid/packages/mermaid-zenuml/src/zenumlRenderer.ts`
+
+Note: This task is in the **mermaid** repo, not the core repo. It depends on the core repo being published with emoji support.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Make draw() truly async with emoji fetch**
+
+In `zenumlRenderer.ts`, update the `draw` function:
+
+```typescript
+import { fetchEmojis } from "@zenuml/core/emoji/emojiService";
+import { extractEmojisFromCode } from "@zenuml/core/emoji/resolveEmoji";
+
+export const draw = async function (text: string, id: string): Promise<void> {
+  const code = text.replace(regexp, '');
+
+  // Extract and pre-fetch emoji
+  const emojiNames = extractEmojisFromCode(code);
+  const emojiCache = await fetchEmojis(emojiNames);
+
+  // Render with emoji cache
+  const result = renderToSvg(code, { emojiCache });
+
+  // ... existing DOM injection logic
+};
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Test in Mermaid live editor**
+
+Run the Mermaid dev server and test with:
+```
+zenuml
+  [rocket] Production
+  A->Production: deploy
+```
+
+Verify emoji renders in the preview.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit (in mermaid repo)**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/mermaid-zenuml/src/zenumlRenderer.ts
+git commit -m "feat: async emoji fetch in ZenUML Mermaid renderer"
