Didn't work for me (Google Chrome Mac) though when I click on the link I can see the pile of poo on that page...

The poo at the link is an image, not a character. Safari on my Macbook renders it in color, with little eyeballs.

Ah yes now I see it on Safari... Still not rendering on Chrome.

I think it looks better without eyes.

Yeah, I hate it when it's staring back at me. It always happens when I eat too many vegetables.

Well, it's a 'pile of poo', but probably not the one you wanted :) I'm running Firefox 10.0. I get a tiny box with 6 hex characters.

There's such a thing as "too many vegetables?"

Here at work on XP on MSIE v. 8.0 it renders like a box: 💩 (dunno how that looks on your screen)

I'm on safari and all I get is a small box.If I click on the link it a nice pile of poo, but no eyes.

In Conkeror (an offshoot of Firefox) it looks like what kevynjacobs & dhpbear got: a little square containing

On iPhone Safari, I see the conical pile of poo with eyes & a smile.

It's Mister Hanky's cousin, the Valentine Day poo!
