No emoji here apparently (ubuntu 10.04), just a rotating rectangle. Is there an emoji ttf font pack anywhere someone can link to?

edit: emoji is not unicode standard and has no linux support apparently. oh well.

The article speaks of an "officially accepted Unicode 6.0 Emoji / ISO 10646 standard", but of course a standard has nothing to do with whether it is Linux supported!

The latest versions of Unicode have an official encoding for emoji, and (after having installed a suitable font) the resulting page renders just fine in Firefox Aurora on Ubuntu 11.04.

It doesn't render in the URL bar, of course, but that's Firefox's IDN whitelist at work.

A suitable font is Symbola: http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/

The Apple Emoji font uses a non-standard extension (png images in an 'sbix' table), so it can't be used outside of Lion / iOS at the moment.

Haven't got it working in firefox yet, but can see in Character Selector.

It's completely supported by Linux, but you need appropriate font coverage.
