Whatever you were trying to do, I don’t think it worked. Unless I’m missing something.

Do I need Windows or something? I’m only seeing squares in Safari, and Firefox is showing rectangles with the hex code in the middle.

I’m using an iPad - with Safari - with eMoji enabled (I think you do it through “languages”).

Both Elwood and My posts (not this one) show special emoticons known as emoji.

Check and see if it is an option for languages or something (or maybe keyboards).

I’m on my PC now and don’t see an option (or the emojis - just little boxes).

If you have an iOS device (iPhone/iPad) - you should be able to see them. Some are only viewable in iOS 6.0 and up.

They’re visible in OS X 10.8. I don’t know if earlier versions will work.

If you have an iOS device - go to:

Settings \> General \> Keyboard \> International Keyboards \> Add New Keyboard

Pick emoji

Then you will see a globe option on your keyboard - click that and welcome to the party.

I think you need an iOS version that is relatively new - and maybe an iPhone 4 or better, but not sure.

Eta: Woah, my chrome Emoji extension just expanded all those into links, apparently I can’t quote emojis.

Aha. This computer is running 10.6.8. I’ll have to look at it again from home.

I use the Chromoji extension, it appears to use a find/replace thing that replaces the characters with html, so when I quote posts I get this (spoilered for length):
