HTML coding Email, can this be done?

Question

I am trying to add a smiley face icon within the subject line of an html email it is written ☺

however when i send the email the recipient sees the code like you do now, not icon, I have changed the char-set type before to allow characters to work correctly, can this be done to work with smiley faces? as i have done stars in the past and they all came out fine any help would be appreciated. :D

Answer 1

It all depends on the 'character set' that the OS / program is using to whether or not a character like that is shown correctly, seeing the code is possibly some form of conversion being done which ruins it. usually all you see is a square if the character isn't supported.

It's best to avoid special characters because everyone's system is different ☻

Answer 2

First, "understanding pcs" will no longer help a lot. How do they subscribe interior the 1st place? Or is it in basic terms a catalogue which you have have been given manually further the addresses to by way of the years?

Answer 3

Erm i don't see the code.. i see the smiley..

Make sure that they other person has their browser updated to the latest version and that they aren't using IE because frankly IE sucks balls.
