Follow the white rabbit! /(^x^)\ [189] [Solution posted]

Open

Hello and welcome! As it turned out in the rat-brain puzzle, I was able to cut rat brains into pieces, at least in software.
This puzzle proves that I can do the same with emojis/kamojis/whatevermojis. Various rabbit and bird xmojis have been taken apart and randomly scattered into the table below. Each cell contains a giveaway code, but 251 have been expired and comes from a relatively small group anyway (which I am not a member of actually).

So, 5 giveaways actually work (although, mostly with negative reviews), and also form a GA code for a not too bad train. Knowing hexadecimal numbers and the xlate page may come handy. The row and column headings should make forming the character codes easy (take the row number first, and replace the second digit with the column number).

May the white rabbit guide you on your way.

Hint: The white rabbit is up there and watching over all of us.
TecHint: Notepad rocks, especially with Chrome.

No poll, no potato, no regret.
EDIT: I regret already, should have put up one with at least the usual can't/won't/did not vote options. Without a poll it is really hard to guess when to add a hint.

Solution

Brute forcing every link was a side entrance (it worked, yes), the white rabbit in question is present in the thread topic, so /(^x^)\ was the sequence hidden in the table. The underscores made things a "bit" less readable, but searching for the characters of the rabbit worked pretty well on the page already, and selecting the table and pasting it into Notepad worked even better (I tried with Chrome where the result is nicely tabulated, and with IE where the result is a bit messy, but at least the underscores are gone).
The rabbit was taken apart into 5 pieces and they had to preserve the order: / was the first piece at 71, (^ was the second at 4D, x is the mid one at 66, then comes ^) at 44, and the closing \ at 33.
71 4D 66 44 33 can be decoded to qMfD3, a train starting with Rise of The Triad.

189 (plain decimal) is BD in hexadecimal. I needed some sane deadline for the puzzles and today (Aug 27) happens to be my birthday.
