Displaying Emoji in Google Chrome
I just implemented Emoji support in my extension using the open-source Twemoji library.
In the simplest form, it involves adding a .js file and calling a function on a DOM element to replace Unicode emoji with Twitter CDN provided images:
twemoji.parse(node);See the repository readme for more options.
You can view emoji with a Chrome extension called Chromoji.
It works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux as well.
