STILL seeing question marks instead of emojis

Why do we keep sliding backwards? Emojis used to be correctly sent between iphones and androids, but for about 9 months I have been getting all question marks from an android user even though he updated his operating system and so did I.

My partner went to 2 different AT&T stores regarding his newish Android phone. They both told him there was nothing he could do about sending question marks instead of emojis. Then I found this fix from 4 years ago on an AT&T blog and it worked!!!
