Are there plans to support the [slight\_smile](http://emoji.codes/) emoji? It kinda irks me that `:)` gets translated to 😄. Here’s what would be ideal, IMO:

- `:)` → `:slight_smile:` ![:slight_smile:](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/3/73bc4abec720063c7f6833f50aeb90168b652025.png) (rendered from the `.ai` assets added to Twemoji in [#67](https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/pull/67))
- `;)` → `:wink:` 😉
- `x)` → this one should be U+1F60A (smiling face with smiling eyes) but it’s unfortunately been adopted in some emoji packs (including Twemoji) as `:blush:` 😊. Not sure what can be done to rectify this. There is no Unicode emoji specifically for a blushing face; if there is one eventually, `:blush:` can be mapped to it rather than U+1F60A and a different emoji code could be used for the latter. I’m not holding my breath, though.

Just for kicks, I’m listing below the corresponding eyes with the standard mouths. I added a checkmark or cross to indicate whether the shorthand is currently translated to the face in Discourse. It would be nice to have those mappings added.

- `:D` → 😃 ✔
- `;D` → (missing in Unicode emoji, apparently)
- `xD` → 😆 ❌ (this is kinda redundant with the current `:)` → 😄, so I guess there wouldn’t be much lost if the `:)` mapping was changed)

- `:P` → 😛 ✔
- `;P` → 😜 ✔
- `xP` → 😝 ❌
