I did a few tests myself, from Gmail to a Yahoo account, Live.com account, Office365 (Outlook and Outlook Web Access) and an account accessed via IMAP using Thunderbird and Roundcubemail.
You will notice that the results are completely inconsistent across web platforms and email clients. The one thing that I did notice though is that the emoji displays perfectly on both my mobile devices, one being Android and the other iOS. This is not surprising to me. I think it will be a little while before the desktop and other web readers catch up so for now I would say stick to Emoticons instead for your non-Gmail contacts ;) Original, from Gmail: βΊπππππππ ππππ π¬ππ ππππππΈπΉπ»π»πΉπΊπππβ Outlook 2013: [image: Inline image 5] OWA: [image: Inline image 1] Outlook.com (better than OWA and Outlook!): [image: Inline image 2] Yahoo mail: [image: Inline image 3] Roundcube: [image: Inline image 4] Thunderbird: [image: Inline image 6] Inbox (Android and iOS): Apple Mail (iPhone 5s) [image: Displaying FullSizeRender.jpg] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
