Custom emoji documents will contain documentAttributeCustomEmoji attribute instead of a documentAttributeSticker, containing information on the associated emoji (alt), whether the emoji can be used by non-premium users (free) and the associated stickerset.
If the documentAttributeCustomEmoji.text_color flag is set, the color of this TGS custom emoji should be changed to the text color when used in messages, the accent color if used as emoji status, white on chat photos, or another appropriate color based on context.
