[QUOTE="jj5406, post: 1644844, member: 130525"] Using iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.3 (12B466). Computer: Macbook Pro Retina running Yosemite (10.10.2) and Thunderbird 31.5.0 When I create an email (on my phone or computer) and insert emoji characters, everything looks fine when viewed from my phone or from my computer (using Thunderbird) or in gmail (via safari web browser - though the emojis look different). When I receive an email with emojis, they look just fine on all platforms. If I reply to an email from my mac and include emojis, everything looks fine.... However, if I reply to an email from my phone (any email, with or without emojis) and use emojis, the emojis look fine in the reply, but when in that reply is received, all of the emojis are messed up (though in a strange way). When the reply is viewed on my phone, I can see the emojis just fine in the mailbox view that shows a preview (just the start of each message). In thunderbird I don't see any preview of the message when in the mailbox list view. However, when the email is opened (on the phone or in Thunderbird) ALL emojis appear as those annoying question-mark-in-black-diamond symbols. Conversely, when viewing the reply in gmail in Safari browser, the emojis show up as question marks in the email preview in the mailbox view, but when the email is opened, the emojis are drawn as the actual pictures (though gmail has different versions of those pictures - I'm not worried about that). Why is this happening?????? Could it be something that my university email server is doing to the message before it goes out? I can't understand why the emoji should look fine in the preview, but not in the actual message. I mean, it's the same data that is being processed. This is driving me crazy!!! -J [/QUOTE]
