help:artist_commentary and deviantART copy+paste

Posted under Bugs & Features

I noticed that something I had been grappling with prior to the Artist Commentary feature -- emoticons in deviantART commentaries -- handles differently when copy+pasted from Google Chrome than it does in Opera 12. In the latter, the emoticons simply don't copy over, same as mentioned user icons, but in Chrome (and supposedly other, updated browsers), they appear either as we see here on Danbooru ( :) :P ) or as :words:. Would it be worth noting this functionality in the help:artist_commentary wiki, or is it too particular?

Was hoping to spin this as, "something useful in the right browser," but yours prolly is the more accurate take, my mainstay being so outdated.

...

Just tested it in the latest IE, FF, and Opera itself, and they all exhibit the same behavior as Chrome, so, uh, foot in my mouth, here.
