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:

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

NameOp☺️C'pointUnicode NameNotes
Diamond <> 💎 U+1F48E GEM STONE No change
Spaceship <=> 🛸 U+1F6F8 FLYING SAUCER Preferred over 🚀 U+1F680 ROCKET

Possibly better:

Enterprise ( )x!! 🐌 U+1F40C SNAIL aka: ..., "snail"

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:
&#128104;&#127997;&#8205;&#9992;&#65039;.
