Apparently the "Grinning Face" is included in the Deja Vu font which was/is 
included by default with Ubuntu (according to Wikipedia). Perhaps you can get LiveCode to 
use that ... at least to test the surrogate pairs.

On a lesser note, LibreOffice includes Deja Vu and fortunately Deja Vu does not 
have the pile of poo you do not want.

Have you tried displaying the pile of poo in LivecCode using the same font as 
you are using in Thunderbird? That would be the best evidence of whether 
LiveCode supports surrogate pairs under Linux or not.

No joy.

That's a godd idea; although why everybody seems to think I want the pile of 
poo, when
I want 1F600 (the rictus smiley face) I just don't know.

The font is "sans-serif".

Now, in my font list over in Livecode I could only find a font listed as 
"Sans", which delivered a
blocked-in oblong rather than the face.

This would suggest that Thunderbird is using its own, built-in font.
