Have fun in this rabbit hole.
You can use emoji (and other graphical unicode characters) in URLs. And wow is it great. But no one seems to do it. Why? Perhaps emoji are too exotic for normie web platforms to handle? Or maybe they are avoided for fear of angering the SEO gods?
Whatever the reason, the overlapping portion on the Venn diagram of “It’s Possible v.s. No One Is Doing It” is where my excitement usually lies. So I decided to put a little time into the possibilities of graphical characters in URLs. Specifically, with the possibility for animating these characters by way of some Javascript.

Attention 📣 Node developers. We’re building highly functional applications, but it’s time to add some pizzazz and breathe new life into our software creations.
I never thought I’d say this, but this is a deep dive on integrating emoji into your Node apps. There’s even a table of contents! 😆
I ran a script awhile back (found it on GitHub, can’t recall its name) that created Slack-style keyboard shortcuts (via the pref pane) for all common emoji, but it was a one-off and I’ve run in to many emoji that are missing. Rocket looks like a better version of that same idea.
