Emojis don't render properly on all terminals

Emojis cannot be rendered on every terminal. This causes the issue that log messages will look strange and don’t have a common alignment.

You can see the issue by running my demo code in different terminals:

NODE_DEBUG=* node index.js

const logdown = require('logdown')
const logger = logdown('MyLogger')

logger.debug('Type "debug"')
logger.error('Type "error"')
logger.info('Type "info"')
logger.log('Type "log"')
logger.warn('Type "warn"')

Because the output isn’t consistent across platforms, we should replace emojis with standard ASCII symbols (which can be rendered on most of the systems).

I also noticed that logger.debug is not printed on the console. How can I get debug messages? I already used NODE_DEBUG=*.

I’m cool with that

The easiest to implement (and already useful) config would be turning it on or off completely.
