Is the thermometer symbol used widely? No idea. Is emoji used widely? Yes, In Japan 🇯🇵 (and Korea? 🇰🇷) and has been for > 15 years. A common email/msg composed by a Japanese woman 👧 age 15 to 35 uses many emoji.

I realize this message will not render correctly in Chrome because Chrome, at least Desktop Chrome, does not yet support emoji 😭

Is the problem with Chrome or the OS and font selection? I think everything renders on my Win 7 + FX 30 setup I'm using now. Generally, I have the best success with Win 8 + IE 11.

On OS X, Chrome renders boxes, Safari renders the proper characters.
