In an HTML page (or an HTML email), if the sender specifies the

That wouldn't be a violation, would it?
You cannot do that if you don't have the Microsoft Wingdings font
(because you aren't using Microsoft).
True enough. But there are hundreds of sites where you can download and
install Wingdings for free. It's not hard. And given the prevalence of
Windows and the popularity of Wingdings, it's a reasonable thing for an
end user to do.
As a sender, it's a fair point that you can't assume all recipients have
Wingdings, so some of them will see "J." If that bothers you, don't
specify it and set yourself up for failure. But if you're OK taking that
chance, that's your choice. And if you're an Outlook user and don't know
any better, oh well... ;-)
