This is really neat and I love when people play with unicode, but one thing to keep in mind - this will break any screen reader reading your tweets.
Here is a example of what I mean!

Spot on and that's why I added a note at the end of the post. Also to chime in, this is not any different from using smileys. Play as long as know what you're doing.
A note on emojis. Screen readers can read them out loud with description, which actually conveys quite a lot of feeling / information.

Dear @joindicebreaker,
I know it was just a one-off, but the playthrough of Labyrinth brought me so much joy. I did not know how much I loved @johnneh and @KubeWhelan as muppets. If we can ever finagle the return of
