You can add emojis and special characters to your regular username, like the wolf icon in my displayed name. If that's what you meant, then those don't need to have a meaning.
If you still mean something else, a screenshot would be nice. You can blur the username of the screenshotted person if you're feeling more comfortable that way. ;)
I believe you, but I don’t see any emojis in your name or others. Sometimes I see a little baby emoji, but that’s it.
But then I’m using the Voyager client so it might just be me.
That's what it looks like in the Firefox browser on desktop. If it's different for you, then it is very likely the app, yes.
lol. Your name in Voyager as I see it is “justlookingfordragon”.
I’m sure that won’t be a cause of confusion at all.
There is a difference between the display name (Wolf Link) and the handle (@[email protected] ) the display name is initially, by default, the first part of the handle, as it is with your account. But you can change it. If you are linking the user, you have to use the handle, which is unique.
Voyager seems to ignore the display name and just displays the first part of the handle on its own. Which is indeed kind of confusing.
Oh, that's the account name, not the display name ^^° but interesting to see how extremely different it all looks between apps.
I'm in the Firefox browser on desktop and it looks like this:

Thanks Wolf Link. The icon I was referring to is attached to my post (a red person with a red slash across it) and it is located between the user's avatar and the user name. Your wolf is located to the right of your username, so the icon I'm referring to is on the left of the username.
You can add emojis anywhere, so it doesn't really matter where exactly it is. Just to demonstrate it; I temporarily added a checkmark and an exclamation mark to my username ;)
The symbol you posted however... i've not seen that on the site so far. Does Jerboa have custom icons maybe?
