The difference between emojis and smilies is that emojis require the
user to have the appropriate fonts installed while the smilies are
automatically generated by the mail-news component of SeaMonkey and
Thunderbird.  In the sample of four emojis, note that the two middle
ones are not shown on my PC.  Instead, I see boxes with the hex codes
for them.

So, does that mean Thunderbird and SeaMonkey won't get them in their
future versions? :/
Did you feel that we need that ? Emoticons are not enough ?


He does, because his correspondents send him messages from their
smartphones with emojis.

If his system has the appropriate fonts installed, SeaMonkey and
Thunderbird may or may not show them.

Correct. I kept asking them what those were since I couldn't see them correctly. :(
Because SeaMonkey did not rely on installed font, so it did not use them ....as I said before:
