    Resolved [RESOLVED] Placeholders from web

    I get these placeholders in some incoming emails and sometimes on the web. I recently D/L the entire MS Win 7 font collection, to be sure I wasn't missing any, but I still get these symbols occasionally.

    Those appear to be placeholders for .gif files rather than font characters. The third one would probably an image of a key if I am guessing correctly.

    Web page designers always think they need bling-bling and eye-candy on their pages rather than simple text that anyone can read and understand.

    OK, 2 are from web pages, and the 2nd one is a heart emoji. I don't feel I'm missing out by not seeing any of them.
