gasp Now I want to start adding Creative Commons sigs to all of my posts, too! The links will quickly becoming annoying, but I can just reuse an uploaded pic - some fonts actually have included the Creative Commons code space (1F10D-1F10F, 1F16D-1F16F, but it's not reliable yet unless you can control the display font like in web or a applications.
Unicode glyphs: 🅭 🅯 
HTML encoded: 🅭 🅮 🄏 🄎
Image:
Edit: bummer on the glyphs; they don't show up in my client, and changing fonts on Android is stupid hard. Gonna have to resize that image, too; it sort of dominates everything.
Okay, I'll bite. Why would the link be annoying, but the pic wouldn't?
IMO the pic is much more in your face.

Only because my first pass was huge! If I can tune it down, it'll be less obtrusive. Part of this is the client, though. Hyperlinks in Voyager are duplicated as a big, ugly list at the end of every post containing them.
E.g.
~~Dammit! I halved the size, but it's worse. I'll get it right, eventually.~~
Hah! Getting there. Maybe if I move it off to the right...
