Description
- OS: Linux
- Delta Chat Version: 1.46.1
I recently changed the displayname for my delta account to "dkg ✅✓✔☑".
As a result, when a contact using DeltaChat desktop 1.46.1 looks to see whether i'm verified (i am, on their system), they see this:

If i wasn't verified, they would see the same thing, but the last checkmark would be missing.
I don't think we can expect users to distinguish between the different types of checkmarks, which means that a user can't defend themselves against someone putting a checkmark in their username to make the recipient think that they're verified.
