-  Detects prompt injection payloads composed entirely of emoji, pictograph, and

-  language, relying on the model's ability to interpret pictographic sequences as
-  semantic content (e.g. rebus-style commands, sentiment chains used for jailbreak
-  narrative framing, or symbolic step sequences standing in for an attack script).
-  Detection is whole-string anchored: it fires only when the entire message consists
-  of emoji/pictograph codepoints and whitespace, so mixed emoji+text messages (normal
-  chat usage) do not match.

-  Detects prompt injection payloads that wrap a fake "instruction block" inside a

-  surrounding instructions, prompts, or text -- the classic HackAPrompt payload-splitting
-  jailbreak structure. Attackers use the delimiter fence to visually mimic a system or
-  document boundary, then place an ignore-instructions directive inside or immediately
-  around it to override the actual task and force an attacker-chosen output (often a
-  fixed string assembled via variable substitution or character concatenation). Recovered
-  from the HackAPrompt false-negative corpus, where this fenced variant evaded the
-  existing plain-text "ignore instructions" rule family.
