Yeah that one is hard to fix. We use the minEmoji set which will replace the unicode chars with SVG or inline image – that's why we folded it into our code – that way it shows up on desktops without an extension in Chrome (in particular). I haven't built a chrome extension so I don't know how easy it would be to fold it into an extension, but that's where I would recommend you start.

I'll admit that I haven't tested emojiboard in detail on Windows, but whenever a customer has a problem we can often tell them to install one of the browser-wide emoji typing solutions in Chrome and it will fix it, which I'm guessing is just something like minEmoji wrapped into a chrome extension!
