Brilliant work kcott!

Everything I've tested so far works like a charm on my Ubuntu Linux VM (running perl v5.38.0 built from source as described here).

A lot more convenient than the crude hack I was using, namely to click on the little xml link on a post to see the decimal values of the Unicode emojis. For example, clicking on the xml link on your post now allows me to see: 

... difficult to tell them apart; e.g. <tt>&#129489;</tt> & <tt>&#1281
+04;</tt>.

which I can then crudely translate back and forth between hex and decimal via one liners such as: 

C:\> perl -e "printf q{%X}, 129489"
1F9D1
C:\> perl -e "printf q{%d}, 0x1F9D1"
129489

[download]

That was working fine until the Discipulus posted an emoji to me in the Chatterbox the other day ... and, oops, there was no xml link to click on! :)
