<h1>Unicons</h1>

<p>For times when you can't insert images into your posts, you can insert
Unicons!</p>

<p>Use this on Twitter, TypePad, Tumblr... pretty much any text field on
the web that accepts unicode characters.</p>

<h2>Usage</h2>

<p>For your own site, you can attach the minimal Unicon control UI by
referencing the Unicons CSS stylesheet and the JavaScript files and
jQuery, which can be loaded locally or (as shown) from Google: </p>

<pre>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot; src=&quot;http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/unicons.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8"> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="js/unicons.js"></script>

<p>This will cause all <code>textarea</code> controls on the page to be
modified. To specifically exclude certain controls, add a "no-unicons" CSS
class to the <code>textarea</code> tag.</p>
