Description: A >_< emoticon results in >_ and then the server shitting itself because it believes I have opened a tag. Is there any way to make an exception in the code that recognizes this ">_<" as a unique string prior to recognizing <> as tag markers?

Or could we maybe have emojis? I would pay money to upload my own custom eidolon emoji set. I mean, sure, users know I'm supposed to be dead, but do they truly understand I'm haunting them from beyond the grave? It's so hard for the formerly living to express ourselves.
