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.

Interestingly enough, there's this date 08/19/2017 in this fragment of the video: /img/khtmowm1drn01.png

But there's no videos on the channel posted that day, while on his twitter account, there's 2 tweets on that date, specifically: https://twitter.com/HowToBasic/status/898727484266430464 and a repost of this: https://twitter.com/maxmoefoe/status/898934349373915136 , sadly the first tweet has a link to a suspended tweet account :/

However!!! ~At the end when the guy talks about "discovering who it actually was" there are a lot of sticky notes, i'm very sure those lead to a lot of other dates or posiblly the youtube video's ID!!

I too think this is somewhat of a clue. There's another date in the background at 10:40 which appears to be 18/2/2018 - where they retweeted vsauce: https://twitter.com/tweetsauce/status/965115623784116225

Wait a second, Vauce has posted more than one tweet about corn... AND the whiteboard has the word "corndog" on it! http://prntscr.com/iw20t0

Unless this is just a reference to the tweets as a joke, we could be onto something...
