Use the PHP function imap_mime_header_decode() to decode it.

For the string posted in the question it returns this:

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [charset] => UTF-8
            [text] => Congratulation Dear,You are_Selected for_Online
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [charset] => UTF-8
            [text] => cash_loan upto10,000/-
        )

)

The unprintable character (U+1F381) represents, according to unicode.org, a "wrapped present". It could look like this if displayed using a font that contains it.
