Yesterday I read the following post in the Unicode mailing list.

Following the link to the emojione webspace, I later found the following page.

http://emojione.com/demo

I enjoyed experimenting trying to produce some art, on-line, directly into the webspace, using the emoji glyphs supplied at the webspace.

The emojione webspace displays the fifty most recent messages.

I made some print screen images. Some extracts from those print screen images are on this page in this webspace, from where they will hopefully become archived into the British Library.

This morning, my pictures were still available within the fifty most recent messgages, so I tried using CTRL + several times on my own computer and produced some larger displays of the images that I had produced yesterday.

Some of those larger images worked well, yet some were different in that what was intended as on one line wrapped onto two lines in the larger image.

In one case, the picture with the golfer, an image not quite so large yet still larger than the original, is good.

So here are images, some as they were first displayed on this computer and then some of them at larger sizes.

Please know that where there are several pictures in one image file, the uppermost picture was produced after the picture or pictures lower down the image. This is because the web page at emojione displays pictures with the most recent image at the top of the most recent fifty images that are displayed and so on, so that as more pictures are contributed, older pictures gradually move down the page .
