Display of emoji broken? #46

Here's a tweet that isn't displaying emoji right, as far as I can tell.

deleted manual RT with broken chars emojiwoops

I think Twitter provides a library for this:

Yep. The issue here is one with the backend MySQL db and storing multi-byte emojis (which did not exist when Politwoops launched and requires a certain amount of db work on a fairly large table).

This is fixed now.
