Anyone who has seen my older roms knows how much I love unicode. I found this font over at the evo forums and decided to share it here. It is a very clean font with things that used to be squares fixed to show what they really are! You can also download an emoji keyboard on the market. http://www.4shared.com/file/OQKqfer4/EmojiFont.html
Remember, to send emoji to different cell phone carriers, it needs to be in mms form.

I downloaded the file and moved to system fonts. I can see emoji but not recognizing any unicode. I am still seeing a lot of boxes.
Hello
I just updated my HTC One to 4.3 android.. It works perfectly, except one thing:
Before, when I type a text message, emoji would appear as soon as i type it, like semicolon and parentheses would instantly change to emoji.
Now, it stays as I type it - it doesnt get replaced by emoji.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks!
I would assume that since there's more emojis (probably hundreds of them) and full iPhone compatibility, that's just one of the draw backs. Now between us and iPhones we can see and send full emojis in color, but as far as I know you have to use the stock HTC keyboard and hold down on the smiley button to access them.
And sending these emojis to other android it doesn't show up right, at least to my wife who has the same phone but on android 4.1.2 and sense 5 it showed up as an empty square.

The smiley faces you had before updating that automatically changed when typing were not true emoji icons. 5.5 sense brought true emoji standard which you need to actually pull up the separate key layout list to use. This list is also fully compatible with ios and iPhones.

The problem lies when one wants to use a custom keyboard, and wants to see emojis

Yea, I mentioned that above. You can still see emojis everywhere, but you can't use them. I don't use them often so I use Swype, and when I wanna use an emoji I switch to the stock keyboard. It's not perfect, but it works.

So in 5.5 we'll be able to see and post color emoji in apps like twitter and instagram and also send and receive full color emoji with iphones??

So is there chance to change that to update automatically, as it was before? The thing is that all text messages that I receive and that are not sent with emoji but with regular typing - are shown as characters not emoticons...
THANKS!

You could download a different keyboard and/or sms app form play store or from these forums. e.g. a stock aosp android messaging app and keyboard. or one of the dozens of others out there.
But that doesnt actually display emoji's...
A lot of apps, i.e. sms apps, forums, websites, etc have made "their own" icons to display when you would type a "semi-colon and a parenthesis" together, for example. There was no standard here, it was all individual to the app.
Now, true emoji style icons, which is a standard baked into the Sense 5.5 ROM and IOS does not use the "semi-colon and parenthesis" type format.
Before, when using the "semi-colon parenthesis" style it was not "universal/standard" for example; I could use my "old sense 5" ROM and send a text using a "semi-colon and parenthesis" and on my phone it would convert it to a smiley-face (not an emoji) and I would send it to my gf who has an iPhone and it would show up as a "semi-colon and parenthesis" (not a smiley-face) because it was not a universal/standard way of doing it. TRUE EMOJI is a "standard" that works better and will allow us to see the icons between devices and not rely on individual apps to make up their own as in the past using "semi-colons and parenthesis" that were app specific.. This probably makes no sense to you but I gave it a shot, maybe someone else can explain it better.
I just would love to see some screenshots of this in action in 5.5

I understood you perfectly. But is it possible that software developers didnt keep that option to show smiley-faces. Thats a step backward....
No chance to "re-enable" that?
Thanks!
Hi,
Not a major problem, but after the update, I have noticed that smileys do not display in messaging as they used to.. now a smiley face is just a " : -)" and not the graphic symbol.
I am presuming that this is due to the introduction of emoji which weren't available before. I have a number of contacts that do have emoji's and thus I presume there is a "translation" problem.
Is there anything that can be done about this?? I have tried a couple of messaging apps but I prefer the stock one if possible.
Anyone else having this issue and can suggest a work around??
Thanks
Hello,
I'm having a weird issue that I've been unable to resolve. Android Messages is showing old/outdated emojis compared to other apps. Anyone seen this before? Flamingo, which is a Twitter app is displaying normal emojis. I'm only seeing the older ones in Android Messages. They just randomly changed yesterday.

I thought those were the default Google ones? I have those older style ones on all my stock Google phones.

I've had the newer looking ones since I got the note 9. I can't remember the last time I've seen the other ones. I did a phone reset and the newer ones were there for a few hours and then they changed back to the older ones.

Emojis are also based on what keyboard you use. I see you're using Google Keyboard which actually uses the default android style. The ones on the Samsung Keyboard are Samsung's own emojis.

I think there may be a bug in the latest Gboard beta. I uninstalled the beta several hours ago and the emoji have remained the same.
Issue appears to be resolved.
