The J bug takes its name from how Outlook handled smiley faces ": )" added to email bodies for the last seven years, replacing the two characters with the letter "J" whenever users were using non-Microsoft products to view emails sent via Outlook.

2. The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!) – Joel on Software[^]
