On a mail received from an outlook mail program i see:
Re-Texte J instead of Re-Texte <smiling smiley>

The "J" in Windings font is a smiling smiley
But SM show me only a "J".

The Wingdings font doesn't have an Unicode character map [1] and is generally useless. MS allows one to write content like "J" but then when used with Wingdings to render the glyph at "absolute" position corresponding to "J" in the font. Mozilla and other browsers wouldn't find appropriate glyph mapped to "J" in that font so the will find a substitute font to render it. Outlook users should really write "☺" (smiling face) and not "J".

A guy, David McRitchie, has some notes on it regarding Firefox but it equally applies (or equally doesn't apply anymore) to SeaMonkey:
