Yumidori Iro (ID: 000000a6e0b881aa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/05/2017 I was really sad when these old emoticons were replaced by fancy and overexaggerated new ones. Until I found this, I used a blog post with all the emoticons in it to copy and paste the ones I wanted to use. I'm very thankful for this extension and hope it will keep working in the future ;) <3
