It is in my Firefox Aurora. :D Thanks for sharing codepoints.net, I didn't know about it before. I wish the campfire :metal: emoji was in 'actual emoji'...

I haven't looked at the Supplementary Multilingual Plane: Miscellaneous Symbols And Pictographs [1F300...1F5FF] in a while. My favorite characters are 👹 (Japanese Ogre)👺(Japanese Goblin)👻(Ghost) and 👽(Extra Terrestrial). The symbol 💣 (Bomb, 1F4A3) is useful for reviewing movies using Leonard Maltin's notation.

  Since we're picking favorites, why not the happy pile of poo? 💩 It's not officially supposed to be happy, but Apple seems to have decided eyes and a smile would give it more character. http://codepoints.net/U+1F4A9 http://codepoints.net/U+1F4A9

    My IE10 octopus is missing 3 arms and a mouth, resulting in something that looks more like a 3-legged grey alien trying to surrender than an octopus who is smiling.

On Mac OS X with Chrome, I cannot see that. But copying this to the address bar gives a red octopus, so funny!

Interestingly enough, the octopus shows up but the proposed Bitcoin symbol doesn't (iOS 6)

  Interesting. I'm also on iOS 6 and both show up for me. I wonder why. Edit: in safari, the symbol shows correctly in the window header, but not the page itself. In news:yc, a hacker news app, the symbol shows up fine. It also shows up in the WebView in news:yc.

Interestingly, works on chrome android, but not chrome OSX. If it's copy and pasted elsewhere in OSX though it comes up as a red octopus

Got it in ios 5, which came out a while ago. Title character is still just a square. Weird.

The word "smiling" does not appear on the linked page.
