Heyho,

today I got an email from an online shop starting with an emoji, which is a thing I dislike very much, but it seems people are getting increasingly used to those Emojis in emails .. we got to deal with it.

I received an Email with the coconut Emoji 'U+1F965'

Definately emoji. The sender put them in the Subject. This seems to effect Linux OS.

I've been doing a bit of a search and located a similar query with a solution. * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1178430

TB seems to use the standard version in perference to the color version font file
