Related #115

I'm making a word puzzle with letters, so most of the alphabet is being taken up by defining the letters as readable (v being reserved is a problem for that, but that's a different issue.)

I also was doing shenanigans with teleporters and needed 20 of them. I could do a bunch of weird ascii/unicode symbols I suppose, but emoji are pretty accessible on the keyboard these days, so it'd be nice to have those as an option too.

It'd also be fun for folks learning or more visual to have level definitions like this:

======
LEGEND
======

⬛ = Background
🤺 = Player
📦 = Crate
🧱 = Wall
🎯 = Target

======
LEVELS
======
