Sometimes I will receive an email that have the skull emoji (💀) in 
the **From** header.  At first I thought this might be due to some 
autocorrect/auto-substitution that is enabled on my computer  (like 
turning a smiley emoticon to an emoji), but that does not seem to be the 
case. I also looked at the raw message of the emails  and  didn't see 
anything unusual. Both these messages were downloaded from Gmail and 
when I look there the skull isn't present. How is this happening?

Here is an example message from Citibank/Best Buy
 
The **From** header is "bestbuycard at info.accountonline.com" 
<<alerts at citibank.com>>
