Had a desire to add some emojis earlier to a news posting I was doing for teodesian.net. Decided to do a few seconds of googlin' and found a pretty decent looking library for doing this here:

Figured I may as well let y'all ride shotgun with me as I added this sucker to my posting UI as such. Hopefully it helps someone out there on the interwebs!
