I use homebrew for package management on my mac. Today after updating homebrew I saw something I've never seen before;
There was a tiny beer emoticon in the terminal. How is this being done!? What kinds of terminals is this supported in? I'm using iTerm 2 for my terminal.

Yikes! iTerm says it was fixed in a build on 01/20. But I believe the beer mug is a branding point. Maybe just update.

How its done? It is just Apple. The glyph substitution algorithm is picking up the text and replacing it with emoji (which is ttf on mac) – Benjiman 50 secs ago edit
No, my iTerm doesn't crash, I was just wondering how they are showing these icons. I actually updated iTerm yesterday btw. – aaronsnoswell – 2013-03-09T06:05:30.383
