OPERATIONAL BRIEFING
THE CONCEPT
Emoji Smuggling hides secret data inside public messages using Zero Width Characters. It allows communication that bypasses standard content filters.
THE MECHANISM
We inject invisible unicode binary markers (U+200B, U+200C) between emojis. The browser renders the icons, but the system sees the hidden payload.

- Data Exfiltration: Can hide sensitive data in plain sight.
- Forensics: Detect by analyzing file size vs visible length.
