REGEX for emoji's in subject line

Here's an example. We get numerous variations of senders (all gmail) and subjects (usually consistent for a few days).  One common factor is that Green Heart Emoji.  I have tried various REGEX's to catch it.  There was another one that had the green heart and was for CLIPPERPRO toenail clippers. We get about 20 a day. The regex never catches on CLIPPERPRO or tonail either. Sometimes, it would catch them if they were being bounced as undelivered.

Another note, now most of these get caught in quarantine as spam if they are undeliverable

  • The code for that emoticon is 1364189d2f614533a50484dc4975342f - does using that work?

  • I sent a couple to myself from outside and it did not block them, I have not come across that code anywhere. Is there a reference you can share? The spammer has mixed it up over the last few days with new emojis as well.  I sent an example to Sophos, but have not heard anything. I really not seeing why it is not picking up on either the emoji or simple text from the subject lines. 

  • If you Edit your first post, you can select 'Tools >> Source code' and that lets you see the emoticon code.

    Cheers - Bob

  • I'm out of ideas to block these. Any other ideas out there?  Header below, i can provide an actual example as well, they are HTML formatted. and they change various things from time-to-time. sender varies (always gmail), the subject matter, and the destination URLs. But they;re obviously all the same
