Add Unicode ICONS to Email Subject Title

3 replies
Just a quick one. I've been getting emails with little icons in the subject title and have just worked out how to do it myself. It's just a matter of downloading the pdfs and copying the icon you want and pasting in the subject title of your email.

There are certain restrictions on their use so please read the terms in the pdfs you download. Here are the two main pages to get you started.
Enjoy!

    Personally I think they look spammy in my email inbox.

    (Also beware you are not allowed to use them in forum thread titles on this forum.)

      I agree, they need to be used sparingly and thanks for the heads up Will

    You should also be aware that some email software will display the code, rather than the symbol. That will almost automatically get your email deleted as spam, or treated as such by the recipient.

    And some of us treat that roughly the same way we treat mail with "Personal from" in the subject when it isn't really a personal (meaning: one to one) message. It's a preference thing, to be sure, but it's one to be aware of. It's not something everyone cares about, but the ones who do seem to care rather a lot.
