when are they going to let us use emojis in email addresses?

john.smith🤓gmail.com

If I’m reading RFC 6531 correctly, international email addresses can contain any non-reserved characters in the Local-Part, so while the above is not allowed because an address must contain an @, the following are all technically permitted:

  • john.🤓@example.org
  • 🤖@example.org
  • ⬆⬆⬇⬇⬅➡⬅➡ba▶@example.org
  • üm̈l̈äüẗs̈_̈f̈ör̈_̈ëv̈ër̈ÿb̈öd̈ÿ@example.org
  • üm̈l̈äüẗs̈_̈f̈ör̈_̈ëv̈ër̈ÿb̈öd̈ÿ@example.org (considered better practice than the previous one)
  • ▁▂▃▄▅▆▇▉@example.org
  • ╰┴┲╋┱┴╯@example.org
  • ƃɹo˙ǝldɯɐxǝ@example.org
