I’m surprised it doesn’t support emoji in the name field. No <emoji>@<emoji>.kz

  When email addresses were standardized, unicode wasn't around. For domains and hostnames we have punycode which maps unicode characters onto the ASCII charset, which is why it works. This does not apply to the user portion of the email address. Emoji as part of the display name should work, i.e. "Emoji" <user@emoji.kz>

    RFC 6531 adds support for internationalized local-parts. Support in actual software may be lacking though.

      I sometimes run into sites that won't even allow a + in the name part of an email address. And yes, I use gmail and the + functionality extensively.

        In the early days I used "/" in local parts, which is syntactically valid. That turned out to be a bad idea, as some mail software was mapping local-parts to file names...
