None of the content on getemoji.com makes st crash for me, nor does it my make my st misbehave after a quick observation. Again, all I have noticed is that, as you said, some companies use emojis in their subject field. For me it has resulted in: When I use st+screen+mutt, everything that is appearing after a emoji (possibly those 2 character emojis) will be offset by at least one character. This means that it will essentially break text on all lines after the emoji, resulting in a diverge from the intended/expected rendering. I had the intention of looking into it, but I figured my temporary solution was OK for my needs: Mark those emails as spam, and never open the spam folder. So far my friends has not had the idea of using emojis in the subject field of a email... Another vicious thought I had was to start a thread with a emoji that will cause the same issue for more people here and thus attracting more attention. But I figured maliciousness is not in my nature. I believe more people are affected by this, but currently unaware of the problem.
