 Replying to [comment:5 mcs]:

 is no native emoji support in the browser? It would be nice if there was a
 better solution.

 That would be the plan. I'm also open to assuming that there's complete
 native support (Firefox's emoji support is actually pretty good, so it
 wouldn't be a terrible UX).

 via Javascript or CSS.

 I'm not aware of such a technique that works for detecting correct emoji
 rendering. Do you have a link, or example code?
