% usage: \unicode[font]{codepoint}, e.g. \unicode[\emojifont]{1F60E} or \unicode{1F47D}
% requires --shell-escape be enabled (to use \write18) and curl to be in the path
% prints something like U+XXXX § SECTION SIGN
% note that the codepoint MUST be in all-caps, due to how \symbol works
\newcommand{\unicode}[2][]
