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 ?
Additional question, how can i type ☺ here ?(i had just copy/pasted
of your character)
Launch the application "Character Map" (charmap.exe), you'll find it
there. It's at U+263A in the table (characters are listed in hex
numerical order, the first few rows being standard ASCII). The most
complete font I know is "Arial Unicode MS," but a lot of the characters
there are blanks in more garden-variety fonts.
If you're working in Word or some other word-processor, you can define a
keyboard shortcut for characters you use often. For example, I like to
put a zero-width breaking space after a slash as in "baseball/football"
(looks like it's not there, but if it occurs at a line end, Word will
break there without hyphenating), so I've defined that as ALT-1.
The thing is, the glyphs that appear in special fonts like Wingdings
have no relationship to those that appear in other fonts, so if your
reader displays your message with a different font (common in email),
the meaning is lost. But with conventional fonts, a smile is a smile and
a checkbox is a checkbox and you can count on it appearing in the
reader's display font.
