U+2639 WHITE FROWNING FACE
U+263A WHITE SMILING FACE

Also, U+2694 CROSSED SWORDS for "vehement discussion on mailing list", 
U+2696 SCALES for "BDFL is considering", and U+2678 BLACK UNIVERSAL 
RECYCLING SYMBOL for "proposal previously rejected is being re-proposed 
due to changed circumstances".

For code don't forget great math operator symbols like U+2264 
LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO and U+222A UNION.  But I doubt if anybody would want 
to bake in an absolute requirement for Unicode support in order to be able 
to read or write Python code.
