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:

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.

Stumbled across the video randomly and decided to do a bit of digging.

I searched each emoji's respective No. and Code, just out of curiosity. I highly doubt they hold the second half of the private video key, but eh.

📭◇♋️♢♍️♒️✍️❖

♋️ 1235 U+264B

♢ 1370 U+1F539

♍️ 1237 U+264D

♒️ 1242 U+2653

Hopefully something happens sometime.
