I've never understood why some emails are ending with :J? I thought it was a meme I didn't understand. It turns out it's just Outlook doing its thing

Some versions of outlook autocorrected a smiley to a J in the wingdings font.

It's not just Outlook. Teams is messing that up just as well, and so did RiF on Android.

Turns out, dealing with Unicode beyond 2 bytes (i.e. anything above ASCII and the common Latin characters) is still a problem in 2023.
