This page demonstrates how you can change your cursor to an Emoji character with a snippet of JavaScript.

Unfortunately, some Emojis end up showing ugly edges. I haven't yet tested browser support.

You can pick one of these:

Or you can type an Emoji (or any other) character in the text box below to get started. On a mac, you can use `CTRL + CMD + SPACE` to bring up an Emoji selector menu. Press `ENTER` to submit.

Some notes:

- Make sure to use the `auto` option to prevent major accessibility issues. This allows inputs and other interactive HTML elements to pick their default cursor over your fancy Emoji poop one.
- It’s probably best to only use it for easter eggs or other non vital stuff...
- It’s quite difficult to predict support/how the Emoji characters render on different operating systems.
