How do you get NVDA to stop describing symbols? For example within a Email sighted help tells me that there is a symbol that looks like a sun. NVDA reads it as Black Sun with Rays.

This is because you are using a synthesizer that recognises emoji. At

present, NVDA, and other screen readers, do not give you control of reporting these. It is rather synth specific.

If the exact same description occurs in message
after message and if it interferes with reading text efficiently, you can try
copying the exact text to the clipboard and then using the speech dictionary to
cause the phrase not to be spoken. I did that in HTML e-mails that said
nonsense like curved line in every e-mail and other such nonsense.
When people take blindness accessibility
recommendations seriously for Internet sites with no understanding of them, all
sorts of nonsense may result such as something like the description curved line
being placed on the site..

It could be Webdings, too.
It's a thorny decision to not describe emojis, emoticons, or things like webdings. They get used in many instances to convey something the text itself might not. Then again, there are people who pepper their communications with them such that they are, to most of us, just garbage. There's no AI that can yet fathom which situation might be which. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1703, Build 15063 (dot level on request - it changes too often to keep in signature) The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.

I saw the messages about imogees (spelling) and
that may be a cause as well. But I've also seen descriptions as a part of
web pages or html newsletters that are written out on the page for blind
people. They are, I'm sure, writing using something like black on black
contrast so a sighted person won't see them but they provide no useful
information.
