[This list was first created in 2009, when sending someone a Unicode snowman was a big deal.]
I guess whether these work or not depends on font support, not OS, so I combined all the horizontal ones regardless of whether they work everywhere. Paste at your own risk!

2022-10-27 I've removed Unicode official emojis.txt as these are completely mainstream now, supported in every app ever, the number of them have exploded, and they have whole websites dedicated to documenting them, like https://emojipedia.org/
Open-source projects and developer communities are a great place to learn and share ideas. Many small tools and experiments start as simple projects but later become useful resources for people across the internet.
Recently I’ve been exploring how users interact with small web utilities, especially tools that help people customize their online identity, such as usernames, bios, and gaming nicknames. Text styling and Unicode characters are interesting because they allow people to create unique visual identities without installing fonts or additional software.
While experimenting with this idea, I built a small project that generates creative text styles and nicknames that can be copied and used on different platforms like social media, forums, or games.

Always great to see people building and sharing useful tools in developer communities.
