After the interesting in emoji from my tweets last night, I’m writing a guide on WP 4.2 w/ emoji. I blame @GaryPendergast for hooking me in.

@JiveDig FWIW, @CocaCola has a new campaign with at emoji URL. adweek.com/adfreak/coca-c…

@JiveDig Technically, it is allowed. Same underlying tech as Chinese characters, IIRC. All browsers work. Just things that autolink wonky.

The only reason the :beer: link works on my site is I have an actual category slugged “beer”, which is what WP finds for /:beer:/

Twitter, if you try to enter it manually, won’t link: brandonkraft.com/b/t/🍺/ . Worst, @SlackHQ will convert it to brandonkraft.com/b/t/:beer:/

Example: The beer emoji looks great and works: cloudup.com/cU92aFBnoMo (Chrome). A link to it will look like brandonkraft.com/b/t/%F0%9F%8D%…
