See if you can find the source code (and how it's referenced) to this Unicode Snowman

Please don't post the solution when you figure it out, at least until we're on the second page (if it makes it that far)

This was originally posted by @steeev who maintains the fantastic Fluff Busting Purity script for Facebook.

Visited that page on Chrome... Are we supposed to see anything? I only get an empty page, empty source.

OK, can confirm I have this worked out now. Sent a PM to muppet since I don't want to give away the answer.

I can confirm the page loads correctly in Firefox.

Edit: This seems to only work in Firefox. I'm not sure why, I don't think it's doing anything non-standard.

I've asked the Author if it's possible to fix.

You should see a snowman character on your screen, but no HTML source if you try to view it!
