A tooltip on hover over the emoji that shows "THINKING FACE" would be a nice feature. Could even be browser native so websites don't have to change anything...

Your comment made me suspect that this already exists, and indeed there is an addon for Firefox (EDIT: works like a charm) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/emoji-to-engl...

Thanks for looking... I sometimes forget addons exist ;)

Here it is for Chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/emoji-to-english/j... and the source code at https://github.com/szupie/emoji-to-english
