Emoji (Emoticons) iOS5/iPhone 4 NOT working...

Hello all.


I know some of you would have more pressing iOS5 problems.


But here goes: Updated to iOS5, iPhone 4.


Emoji stop working: Appear "squarish, jubberish" on the iPhone itself, and on iPad with iOS4.


Seems like some others might be OK.


Anyone has same problem as me?


Thanks and cheers 😟

Talk about misinformation


Texting someone with iPhone 4 with iOS4.3 = send and receive emojis fine

Texting someone with iPhone 4 with iOS5 = they can see my emojis fine, but I can't see theirs


This is with multiple phones of pre-iOS5 (iPhone 3G, jailbroken iPhone4 on 4.3.3) and any Android third party SMS app that supports emoji (GoSMS with emoji plugin, ChompSMS with emoji plugin)


Considering the OS version is the only change in the 2 hours between being able to see their emoji and not being able to, they clearly broke compatibility.
