Add a function in the client for users to print an item-type icon into chat and notecards. Maybe it can be implemented as Emojis in the CHOOSE EMOJI floater under a new section at the top simply called 'Second Life'?

The most beneficial use case for being able to print item-type icons into chat would be for instructors helping new players in a chat-only environment or when giving out an instructional notecard. The instructor would be able to print the item Emoji preceding the string/name of the inventory item so that it visually appears in chat or notecard as it appears in your inventory.

Here is an example of text using normal emojis in place of the item-type icons for Object, Alpha, and Clothing:

===== EXAMPLE USE / PRETEND THIS IS A NOTECARD :D =====

Add these items to your avatar:

• 📦 Sleeves

• 🥅 Sleeves Alpha

To complete the look, add the clothing layers in this order:

===============================================

Obviously, we can kiiiiind of achieve what I'm suggesting with normal emojis but it would be most helpful to have access to the -actual- SL icons for more accuracy across third party viewers and operating systems.
