OpenStreetMap text boxes support emojis, including changeset comments, but probably also diary comments, diary entries, profiles, etc

To make it easier to add emoji, add support for emoji codes. For instance

:thumbsup: creates :thumbsup:

There are public lists of these codes, and the projects that support them, at http://www.emoji-cheat-sheet.com/

:thumbsup: creates :thumbsup:

It's worth noting that that doesn't create an emoji, but embeds an image.

The emoji is 👍

Only if I can make it automatically close the account of anybody that posts a plus one...

mikelmaron commented 9 years ago

yea, there should be some minimal length for a comment. single emoji only is probably too little for a comment

matkoniecz commented 9 years ago

What would be benefit of making the least useful comments more prominent than useful ones?
