Plain Text vs HTML Email Signatures
HTML email signatures look polished but may not render in all clients. Plain text signatures with Unicode styling work universally — including in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and corporate email systems that strip HTML.
Email Signature Best Practices
Name: Bold or Small Caps for immediate recognition. Title: Plain text or subtle italic. Contact: Keep links plain — email and phone. Length: 4-6 lines maximum. Shorter is more professional.

Will Unicode signatures display correctly in all email clients?
Yes. Unicode text displays correctly in all modern email clients including Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and Thunderbird. The characters are standard Unicode, not images.
Can I use Unicode in my email subject line?
Yes. Unicode symbols in email subjects render in Gmail, Apple Mail, and most modern clients. Some symbols (★ ✓ ⚡) can improve open rates.
