/**
* jquery plugin to replace emoji utf-8 characters with the iPhone glyphs.
* code adapted from here: https://github.com/konstantinov/jQuery.emoji
*
* Get your glyphs here:
* wget http://pukupi.com/post/1964/ -O - | perl -ne '/(e\d{3}.png)/ && print "http://pukupi.com/media/emoji/$1\n"' | xargs wget
* 
* someone (Apple?) probably has copyright on the glyphs, not sure about reuse rules.

Hi,

This doesn't seem to work using Safari 5.0.5. Does this still work for you?

Cheers,
Mads

yea, i can email you full example if you want

That would be great! :) That would certainly help me debug why it isn't working on my site.
