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
When i use Word and i typed JJJ and i change the font of the second "J"
in Windings, i see a smiling face instead of the "J".
so the will find a
substitute font to render it. Outlook users should really write "☺"
(smiling face) and not "J".
How can i tell what he must do in outlook, because there is no ☺ on the
keyboard ?
Additionnal question, how can i type ☺ here ?(i had just copy/pasted of
your character)
A guy, David McRitchie, has some notes on it regarding Firefox but it
equally applies (or equally doesn't apply anymore) to SeaMonkey:

Looks that those bugs are closed evenwhile not resolved ...

This bug will cause my websites to have to suggest not using Firefox as
it is necessary to use Greek symbols and the symbol font. It works in
all other browsers making Firefox incompatible with all others.
and:
It is strange to ignore this bug.
I very often get smileys from outlook users which display as "J".
