{
    "providers": [
        {
            "file": "minecraft:custom/emojis/smile",
            "height": 10,
            "ascent": 8,
            "type": "bitmap",
            "chars": [
                "😀"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Parameter	Description
type	The font type, in this case, is bit-map for image-based chars.
file	the texture route, in this case “file” will refer to assets/minecraft/textures/custom/emojis/smile.png
ascent	Vertical displacement of the char
height	The height of each character in pixels
chars	An array of characters to be used to split or use an entire texture.

The ascent should not be greater than the height, try to use multiples of 16x to make them and if you want to make textures greater than 256x divide it in several fonts.
