Hi John,

Thanks for the info. It seems from https://emojipedia.org/paperclip/ &
https://emojipedia.org/link/
that Microsoft is the only vendor with a paperclip or link emoji that has a
black background.

Thanks also for the GnuCash history info. It's always interesting to me.

Regards,
Chris Good

Each vendor has their own emoji-block glyphs. The one you're seeing looks
pretty similar to
https://emojipedia.org/microsoft/windows-10-may-2019-update/paperclip/.

As for why it's being drawn directly on the sheet, that's because the
GnuCash register is substantially older that GtkTreeView. You might remember
Register2, Bob Fewell's attempt to rewrite it to use GtkTreeView for GnuCash
2.6. He wasn't able to make it stable enough and set it aside. It's still in
the codebase: Run gnucash --extra and the Extra menu has "Open Account with
Register2".

Regards,
John Ralls
