(keitai-l) Re: Emoji munged in mail transport?

Not direct anwser, but related...

it is quite possible to send emoji from your PC to an imode phone, so i
would have thought your server shouldnt have a problem if its not parsing
the mail at all it must be an encoding issue.

there are a couple of tools for associating emoji glyphs with other fonts
already in your system. I guess they just patch the fonts somehow to stuff
items into the unused highbyte areas.
This allows me to read and compose emoji mail on the PC.

I cant remember the URLs but i think i pulled the tools down from spicy
vector. I just found them after a bit of google.jp

//  Joe,
//  E-moji are not part of the normal Shift-JIS character set. They reside
//  in a 'reserved' part of the character set that is normally empty. I-mode
//  handsets have characters there, as per NTT DoCoMo's e-moji specification
//  (http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/english/p_s/i/tag/emoji/index.html), but
//  your Linux or Windows or Mac fonts do not, and I believe that they
//  CANNOT use part of the area where e-moji reside, and so I am guessing
//  that what happens is that the hex value is checked, found to be invalid,
//  and printed as-is rather than being converted, which is what is supposed
//  to happen.
//  Tracy from Enfour can probably explain this more correctly than I can,
//  and they also have a product called Keitai Font
//  (http://www.enfour.co.jp/media/keitaifont/index.html) that allows a
//  normal web page with emoji to be displayed on a desktop computer. This
//  is for Windows, though, and I am pretty uncertain if it would work with
//  your mail client or not.
//  Hope this helps,
//  Best,
//  Nik Frengle

//  Hi all,
//
//  I recently started forwarding my DoCoMo mail through a homebrew proxy
//  server, which works great ... problem is that the emoji don't come
//  through.  They all get turned into hex 0x22 0x2e characters somewhere
//  in the path.
//
//  Anybody have experience with losing and recovering emoji with DoCoMo
//  mail?  Is it the case that:
//
//  - Does DoCoMo simply munge all the emoji when sending to a non-DoCoMo
//  destination?
//  - Is there something on my mail server that prevets me from receiving
//  emoji (anti-spam software perhaps, or the configuration of the
//  particular MTA)?
//
//  The server runs Linux and otherwise handles Shift-JIS encoded mail just
//  fine.
//
//  Sorry if this is a FAQ ... couldn't find an answer in the archives
//  anywhere.
//
//  Thanks in advance for any answers or advice!!
//
//  Cheers,
//  Joe
