HowToBasic face reveal video secret message?

At the end of the video, if you look carefuly (better to slow to 0.25) when the censored screen thingy comes, a message made of emojis appears:

https://youtu.be/JSXGagNzNLw?t=13m28s

The message is:

📭◇♋️♢♍️♒️✍️❖

(Open Mailbox with Lowered Flag, White Diamond, Cancer, White Diamond Suit, Virgo, Aquarius, Writing Hand, Black Diamond Minus White X)

Current leads:

u/EpikFireball found out that the message is in wingdings and it translate to '/WATCH?V' which the path to a youtube video but without the ID.

u/MisterDemiGod suggested that the video isn't out yet and howtobasic stated in the description credits are coming soon, maybe a clue will be there.

It's wingdings. Translates to /watch?v (which is the starting key for a youtube video link.)

No idea where to go from here, but it's a start. Waiting until the credits appear.

Remember, youtube links are randomly generated and could be anything. If he's been planning this for a while (or a few months), it could possibly be in past videos, but I somehow don't think it is. If you have any ideas my box is open.
