Gmail is usually pretty good about catching on to spam emails, but for months I've been getting spam with the subject line beginning with Cπ¨π§ππ’π«π¦πππ’π¨π§ Rππππ’π©π. This odd bolding made me look for its cause and I started by using the ASCII Text to Hex Code Converter found at the link below. I pasted the text and clicked convert, which led to the string of characters seen at the bottom of the screenshot. It was then obvious the 5-digit codes were the cause of the bolding. I did a Google search on the first one (1D428) and found it's part of Unicode's Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols Block. I eliminated this spam by creating a Gmail filter using Cπ¨π§ππ’π«π¦πππ’π¨π§ Rππππ’π©π as the subject and directly deleting them.
