At
<http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/named-character-references.html>,
there is a⌣ at Unicode U+02323. (This is a draft specification
that is still being revised. The latest revision was just today.) At
<http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2300.pdf>, I see that Unicode
U+02323 is a curve resembling a parenthesis on its side with the concave
side up. This might be considered a smile, but it does not have the
face circle around it.
Try U+263A (white smiling face):

This is "Miscellaneous Symbols" on:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/
I didn't deny there is a Unicode symbol for this. I merely pointed out
that there does not seem to be what used to be called an HTML entity
reference -- now (HTML 5) called a named character reference -- for the
symbol in the W3C specifications. After all, Gecko is supposed to be
compliant with the HTML specification.
If Ray_Net want to use numeric Unicode points for special symbols, he
can. But merely typing a keyboard letter and then expecting the symbol
does not work, even when that keystroke is the symbol in some fonts.
Why is it possible to specify an font(name) and SM shows on the screen
the picture of the character ?..... EXCEPT for the Wingdings FONT ?
It works in all other browsers making Firefox incompatible with all others.
