The OP is running Windows 7.  It is highly likely that the OP does have
the Wingdings font installed.

Even if the recipient does have Wingdings, the recipient can still see 
a "J" like the OP did.

 *  The Unicode value for "J" is 74 (U+004A).
 *  But the Wingdings font's smiley face has a different _Unicode_ value 
    61514 (U+F04A) in the Wingdings font's cmap.

A program using Unicode will not find a glyph in the Wingdings font at 
_Unicode_ value 74 (U+004A).  So it will substitute another font which 
has a "J".
