Emoji sync across devices

I used to be able to use emoji characters in iCal descriptions, and they would sync across devices and computers via iCloud. They no longer sync, instead a question mark in a box appears where the emoji character was on the device used to input the character. This is now the case between iOS and OS devices, though just last week, the characters would sync fine if originally inputed on an OSX computer (showing up on iPad, iPhone and other Macs fine). Any others experiencing this problem?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5

Apple, just switch this "Emoji support" option back to "on"!

This *****!

Agreed. Highly annoying.

Strangely, some of the icons work. For example, the golf course icon syncs across all devices perfectly. Anyone know of any others that do also?

Yes, the cub of coffee, the heart and the sun work.

But this isn't enough. As in the past (before that fcking iCloud Server Problem*), they should all work perfectly!

Sorry for my bad language, but this is makes me so mad... Apple seems to not care about this. Since 1 whole month this problem is there and they just don't do anything!

Guys unfortunately this has nothing to do with iOS. The issue started right in the middle of an iOS version, after the iCloud server problem. -> "iCloud: Calendar and Reminders - 03/14/2012 17:00 PDT - 03/16/2012 15:30 PDT" (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/)

Just continue to feedback it weekly. Apple has to react!

The bug is fixed!!!

Just switch iCal on & off on your device and iCloud restores you calender data and th Emojis are back!

Thanks Apple!
