Mail Content Makes Gnus Abort Emacs

[Annamalai Gurusami]

Hi All,

I received an e-mail with "Umbrella on Ground" symbol. When I open the
mail, Emacs itself gets killed.

http://www.unicode-symbol.com/u/26F1.html

I am using Gnus v5.13 on GNU Emacs 25.2.2 on Ubuntu 18.04. I think this
could be a bug and I wanted to confirm the same here.

Let me know if I need to file a bug report. Or should I do some
setup/configuration to make it work.

Rgds,
anna

I'd say this should be a bug report, since the problem isn't likely to
be with Gnus itself. I would report-emacs-bugs, then maybe include a
(sanitized) copy of the message that triggers the error, and include all
relevant font information for your Emacs -- what font backend is it
built with, what system fonts are you using with Emacs, etc.

Lastly, I would upgrade Emacs if you can :)
