Twitter Original javascript

The original twitter javascript twemoji is also included as a WebResource : the minified one (set the argument to true) or not (false)

// Easy way, get simply the url and use it in your code :
LitJavascriptUrl.Value = Javascript.GetJavascriptRessourceUrl(false);
// wich outputs : [ Literal "LitJavascriptUrl" ]

// Or the full way
Javascript.AddJavascriptToPageClientScript(true); 
// wich adds the ClientScript block to the page.
