    Text::Emoticon::Unicode - Text::Emoticon filter for Unicode emoticons

VERSION
    This document describes Text::Emoticon::Unicode version 0.01.

SYNOPSIS
        use Text::Emoticon;

        my $emoticon = Text::Emoticon-&gt;new('Unicode');

        my $msg = $emoticon-&gt;filter('Howdy :)');  # returns 'Howdy âş'

DESCRIPTION
    This is a Text::Emoticon filter for converting ASCII emoticons to their
    Unicode emoticon character equivalent. Unlike the other Text::Emoticon
    filters, this one does not use images from an external site or even use
    any HTML. Instead it replaces a series of characters like ":-)" with a
    single character like "âş".

    Currently only the Unicode 1.1 emoticons "âş" and "âš" are supported, but
    an option to enable the vast range of Unicode 6.0 emoticons will be
    added in a future version. An option to use numeric character references
    for HTML or XML will also be added, but itâs easy to use HTML::Entities
    or XML::Entities instead.
