I would like to use a heart emoticon

The symbols inherit arrow styles if used in a "tikzpicture".

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tikzsymbols}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}[->,>=stealth']
    \node (A) {\dSadey[3][red]};
    \node [right of=A] (B) {\dSmiley[3][green]};
  \end{tikzpicture}
There is an arrow in the face of \verb!dSadley!, but not in the face of \verb!dSmiley!.
\end{document}

Quick fix: Setting the arrow style for the symbols explicitly to "-" via \tikzsymbolsset{append-style={arrows=-}}:

	\documentclass{article}
	\usepackage{tikz}
	\usepackage{tikzsymbols}
	\tikzsymbolsset{append-style={arrows=-}}
	\begin{document}
	  \begin{tikzpicture}[->,>=stealth']
	    \node (A) {\dSadey[3][red]};
	    \node [right of=A] (B) {\dSmiley[3][green]};
	  \end{tikzpicture}
	Now arrows no more \dSmiley.
	\end{document}

Note to the bug reporter: I sadly cannot answer the mail as my mail programs (I tried two and three different mail addresses) give me the error "550 5.5.0 Requested actions not taken as the mailbox is unavailable".

If I compile a document using these cool symbols and also use \tikzset{every picture/.append style={remember picture}}, then there are warning of the type "Label `pgfidxy' multiply defined". A workaround has been presented here. However, it might be worthwhile mentioning this workaround in the manual, or to teach TikZ not to remember the pictures of the package regardless of whether \tikzset{every picture/.append style={remember picture}} has been set.
