<p>I tend to agree with these mail providers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Emoji have no place is security relevant contexts because their rendering is far from standardized and unless magnified, they can be hard to recognize. Also, users have no good idea whether related shapes might exist or not, so any deviation would be attributed
to non-standard rendering and most likely accepted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Finally, many emoji involve sequences that may be displayed by some fall-back means on devices that do not happen to support them. This makes emoji similar to complex scripts, but that danger is underappreciated by many people because emoji have an emotional
appeal and appear accessible because the are cute.<o:p></o:p></p>
