I know all url parsers need some rework, however could you please tell me which microblog are you using?

This is due to Choqok obeying KDE's emoji detection patterns; D: is a pattern recognized as sadface.
This should be trivial to fix - another thing to bring up which would also be fixed by this bug is that patterns should be sent to Twitter as the special unicode characters for emoticons - :D vs 😃.
