You mean, as in the following sequence, shown here as a stream of plain 
text characters in email?

<img height='24' width='auto' alt="😎" src="https://www.unicode.org/images/twitter/twitter_1f60e.png">

And interpreted in the following document, in context, as HTML:

P.S. for the nitpickers... yeah, yeah, I realize that this email is 
delivered as HTML, so the "plain text" is itself using quoting 
conventions to embed in the HTML email. If you want this redelivered as 
actual plain text, I could accommodate. 😎
