Hi there

First of all, this is AMAZING! Thank you! I have lots of asciinema and I really wanted to get the animations for Github pages!!!

Problem with emojis

So, I have some terminal CLIs with Emojis and they don't get rendered...

Currently the rendering is done through PhantomJS, and it seems it can't render these emojis. I think in general it is rendering emoji fine, but it hasn't been updated in a while so probably doesn't support some latest additions to Unicode emoji set.

Speaking of PhantomJS, it seems to be dead, so we'll likely switch to other rendering solution here.
