Even if the only option for the moderator is to either approve or reject
a message, then it should have been rejected. Not unrelated to Unicode
matters, it should be noted that e-mail signatures are just more text —
the "-- " delimiter being just a human-readable visual convention, not
some kind of unsurmountable wall: If a moderator can edit message body
text before approving a message, then moderator can very surely also
edit the sig block.
As for the main subject of this thread, I have been reading replies
with interest (as always), but I’m surprised U+FE0E haven’t been yet
mentioned. Surely it’s not part of a putative start/end shift toggle
system, because such system doesn’t exist, but it is what come to my
mind when I read «emoji [end]».
Also possibly pertinent are the pairs in the range U+206A to U+206F:
Their deprecated status might shed some light on why such pairs of
control characters are considered a bad idea.
