Inconsistency between Emoji and Emote

See original GitHub issue

At the time of writing, to create an Emoji object, you’d have to pass the unicode into its public constructor; to create an Emote object, you’d have to do it through either the Parse or the TryParse method, and the object’s constructor is internal only.

This feels extremely inconsistent and can sometimes be confusing.

Apologies if I sounded hostile; ~~however, I still fail to understand why you brought up the definition when the issue itself was questioning the implementation between the current Emote and Emoji.~~

Edit: I re-read the comment and apologies that I thought you were replying to the issue itself rather than making a suggestion to the changes, my bad.

@Still34 I did, why so pricky? I hope I lifted your confusion that drove you to submit the naming as an issue!

Also, the terms used in this lib all follow the terms defined by Discord. Emote is specifically for a custom guild emote, while Emoji is for standard Unicode ones.

Discord only defines emoji, desktop application has written emoji too in server/guild settings. Where did emote come from?
