Notice

This script is designed to work on web pages that specify Segoe UI Emoji as their emoji font. It does not affect non-web content such as plain .txt files (for example, emoji-test.txt), or system-level emoji rendering.

For Firefox users:
To improve emoji support across all websites, you can manually set font.name-list.emoji in about:config to:
