EmojiExplorerPanel is a UI widget that displays and manages emoji items in the collection screen. It extends Widget and wraps an ItemExplorer instance configured specifically for emoji content. It integrates with a FilterBar to provide filtering, sorting, and search functionality, enabling players to browse owned, weavable, and searchable emoji items.
