G'day 👁️🍾👍🦟,

++ Thanks for providing some hours of entertainment.

I went through perlsecret and covered a fair swag of what's there. Quite a few have: "Alternate nicknames: ..." which provided names that were easier to represent as emoji; I've shown these as "aka: ...".

There are also quite a few examples of modifying emoji and combining two into one. The "Flaming X-Wing" is highly contrived to show all of these types of modifications in one; I've provided a better example which is just a single character. Here's a quick rundown:

• VARIATION SELECTOR-16 — change default textual rendering to emoji rendering.
• EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE-N — change skin tone.
• ZERO WIDTH JOINER — combine two emoji into one.

I was concerned about wrapping in the table; the columns are a little squashed to hopefully prevent this.

Although I've shown codepoints (C'point column) listed separately; they should be written without spaces. For example, The Flaming X-Wing (pilot) as HTML entity references:
