How about some kind of automated system for translating icons into words?

>> E.g., how does U+1F624 “��” compare with U+1F62C “��”?

They display identically in Notepad using Lucida Console, but I'm OK
with that.  So if anyone seeks an easy method for translating emoji
characters into meaningless little rectangles, there you go!
