If you want to use an emoji (like ❎) but don't want it to be green you can use the variation selector (0xFE0E)to change it to the text representation.
Use it in CSS like this:
.myClassName::after { content: \274E\FE0E; }
which will look like this ❎︎
Some emojis don't have a text representation.
To check what the text version looks like (if one exists) for any given character, go here and enter a utf-16 string (like 274E) or the character itself (❎). This is a very crude tool. Don't expect much.

0.25 hours: Update Jenkins servers.
0.50 hours: Scancan: Enter author's proofing corrections for one article; provide stats to someone writing an article about TEI-based journal publishing.
4.00 hours: MoEML: Rewrote the GeoJSON generation code so that it now also outputs individual GeoJSON files for each place with a usable geometry. Rewrote the modern map rendering code to use a GeoJSON layer instead of a KML layer, tested, tweaked and set up rendering styles. Converted the last couple of non-GeoJSON coord sets over. Started work on rewriting the instructions in geo.xml, but that's a huge job because they're very detailed. Let the team know about the changes.
0.75 hours: ColDesp: Noticed an issue where search hits in appendix items were not visible on navigation to the page, so added some JS to make that happen. Also cleaned up the repo by moving some obsolete stuff out of the way.
1.00 hours: MyNDIR: Per PAB, the sort order of mentioning-documents listed in an entity page was based on title, but that's not necessarily logical, so after some experimentation I switched it to xml:id, which seems to have the required effect: it groups things by source, and lists them in page-number order within the group. Had to make changes in both the XML generation and the HTML processing, since both were doing a sort.
0.50 hours: Endings/staticSearch: Testing and benchmarking JS compiled and uncompiled code. Results inconclusive.
0.50 hours: Moses: Began work on a static build process.

When the LOI site is rebuilt, one of the first tasks the build process performs is to download the archive-media-list.txt file from the server. This list is used in the diagnostic processes to check the existence of items on the server and in the HTML page creation. The XSLT function loi:getResponseFromServer (in the globals module) checks each pointer to an item on the server and checks whether or not that list contains that item, returning 404 if it's not on the list, 401 if it's on the list but is not public, and 200 otherwise.
That list is in /home1t/loi/www/archive and should be regenerated automatically
