Hah, there's actually a bit more logic behind it that I stripped
out.  I'd set both a 7-bit ASCII "icon" and an optional "emoji"
variable, and a function pics between them.

Huh, I'm not sure what I did wrong in there, but I cleared out all
my attempts (yay for `git reset`) and re-tried it as you described,
and indeed, it works perfectly.  Well, except for differing emoji
support in xterm vs. rxvt, but that's not remind(1)'s problem. :-)
But now with $SuppressLRM I can resume using xterm.

Now all my birthday events have cake, my anniversaries have hearts,
etc.

So much to be thankful for in this season of thanksgiving!
