[Self-Solved] How do I use emoticons in modinfo.lua?

[Schulliya]

I noticed some mods features emoticons on the description IN GAME, like this one, and I'd like to know how do they do this. I looked into their modinfo.lua, but all the emoticons are a weird square... I tried CTRL+C and CTRL+V the symbol and it showed up correctly, but is there somewhere I can see all the available icons?

 

EDIT: After some research, I discovered those emoticons are the game's emoticons in Curio Cabinet. Each one has a square symbol and all of them are listed in emoji_items.lua. All you have to do is copy and paste the "utf8_str" variable of the emoticon you want to use.
