Emoji do not work properly when upgrade to iOS5.1

Previously using emoji with friends on txt message or twitter, however, when I upgrade to iOS5.1 last weekend, it do not work properly, I can send emoji but they show square, they send emoji, square shows up on my iphone as well. I have searched the Communities, and think encoding of emoji may be change from iOS5, but whether it changed again on iOS5.1?

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1

up. i am having the same issue on some of the emojis only. some of them appear some of them don't since i updated to iOS 5.1 on iphone 4S.

I tried "randers4" solution without success.

Anyone got the solution ? or shoud we wait for a fix form Apple cause it seems to be a problem on iOS 5.1.

ie : sometimes emojis appear as empty square on lock screen (notification center) and as soon as you unlock and you open the app, they appear normally. sometimes the don't. It is messy.

Dear Donkapa,


This was more a statement than a solution. (you noticed it started with a "up") I actually didn't mention any solutions in my post.

FYI I will try deleting the phone and reinstalling iOS 5.1 form scratch did you try already ? any improvement ?

Let us know.


Thx.
