"�" instead of Emoji icon on iCloud calendar

Dear Apple Community,


since the "iCloud: Calendar and Reminders - 03/14/2012 17:00 PDT - 03/16/2012 15:30 PDT" (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/) server problem some Emoji icons aren't anymore supported by an iCloud calender.


F.ex.: If my girlfriend creates an event at her calender, which is open for me (via her iCloud account - I use my own iCloud/iTunes Account) with an Emoji icons in the title, I see this "�", instead of the Emoji Icons. This happens f.ex. with the "Fork & Knife"-Emoji Icon. The "Heart"-Emoji Icon is shown correctly.


I also found out that if iCloud pushes the new created event to my iCal (on my Mac) or to the iCal of my girlfriend (on her Mac) the Emoji icons are also replaces by this "�" sign. o.O


After all, the old events, who was created before that iCloud Server still have their Emoji icons. Only new created events are affected.


Note: The events are always shown correctely on the device on which they are created. F.ex. if I create the event (with an Emoji icon) on my iPhone, it's shown correclty on my iPhone, but on my girlfriends' iPhone or Mac and even on my own Mac it has this "�" sign. Really strange.


Any suggestions to fix this or is this an iCloud server bug?


In advance I thank you for your help!


P.S.: I already feedbacked it to iCloud Feeback. (http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html) If you have the same problem, it would be good to feedback it!

And Apple still don't give a fck.


Fix it! You created the problem so easily*, so just switch it back on!


There must be something in the iCloud server settings, which is wrong. Just after this "iCloud Server Problem"* the issue started.

Please fix it...
