Why does “U0001f60e” come up in various online text?

I’ve seen this a worrying number of times as of late, people will write a comment and it'll end in U0001f60e or I’ll just be reading an article and U0001f60e appears in it at seemingly random points.

I can only speculate this is some sort of Unicode decoding thing, but I can’t seem to find any relevant information on this weird set of characters.

It appears to me on Firefox/Chrome/IE, and it’s just slightly worrying.

Either your browser cannot display it, or it is incorrectly escaped on the actual web page you are having issues with.
