Most people running an up to date debian system shouldn't really have 
problems with it. Terminal choice can be an issue, but there are plenty 
of terminals available which will display a text MUA and unicode emojis 
(even in color!) with no problem.

This is the issue--what he's sending isn't valid unicode because his 
pre-unicode (and pre-rfc2822) MUA is mangling its input and sending 
bogus output. It has nothing to do with whether sending valid unicode 
works.
