Emojis and iPhone

Brovig — Mon, 17 Oct 2016 11:33:06 GMT

I hav a Z5 running Marshmallow. In the Messaging app I can see emojis that I receive from an iPhone running iOS10. When I enter emojis at my end they they appear to be graphical emojis but they're received by iPhone users as just charatcers, eg 🙂

Is there a compatibility problem or is there a solution to this?

Thanks for your help.

There's nothing wrong with your phone or their phone, other than it is an iPhone (See what I did there ) perhaps if you use different messaging apps it will solve this problem.

I've investigated this further and it appears to be related to the keyboard app. If I install the Swiftkey keyboard app instead of the Xperia one, the problem is solved.
