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.
