    A tooltip on hover over the emoji that shows "THINKING FACE" would be a nice feature. Could even be browser native so websites don't have to change anything...

      Your comment made me suspect that this already exists, and indeed there is an addon for Firefox (EDIT: works like a charm) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/emoji-to-english/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/emoji-to-engl...
