  "textContent": "A departure from from my normal content - I need to tell you about emoji! You'll probably already know about them - just imagine a emoticon but about 300,000 times better. They really add spice to to textual content. Oh and they're Japanese - which is also way cool.\n\n\n\nSince I've discovered emoji I've felt a pressing need to have them on my (Android) phone. This is harder than you might imagine. But totally do-able.... Here's how you get the emoji love on your Android Lollipop phone:\n\n- goto settings (the cog)\n- select \"Language and Input\"\n- select your \"Current keyboard\" and then select the \"Choose keyboards\" option\n- look for a keyboard that says \"iWnn IME Japanese\". Select it\n- drop back to the \"Language and Input\" menu where you will see \"iWnn IME Japanese\" is now there.\n- select it and deactivate \"Japanese\" and activate \"Emoji\" like this:\n\n- now you should find your keyboard contains a little globe icon. When you select it.... Emoji!!!!",
