It uses the Kitty Graphics Protocol to display images.

Emotes

Use a terminal that fully supports the graphics protocol, such as kitty or WezTerm.

Enable the emotes by setting twitch_emotes, betterttv_emotes and/or seventv_emotes to true.

The emotes will be downloaded to ~/.cache/twt/ on Linux/MacOs and %appdata%\twt\cache\ on Windows.

Is that limited to the kitty terminal? I don't see any compatibility notes on Kitty Graphics Protocol nor your TUI project - which given the TUI label I would expect to work on any terminal?

The kitty terminal graphics protocol is implemented by kitty, WezTerm, Konsole, and others I believe.

It does work in any terminal, but the emoji support is limited to terminals that implement this graphics API.
