Turn off automatic smiley feature in iMessage OS X?
Looking for advice on how to turn off the auto smiley (smilley, not emoji) feature in the iMessage OS X app.
iMessage in OS X automatically swaps out character groupings such as : ) for faux emojji: happy , laugh , etc.
The problem is that iOS does not swap out those character groupings. Specifically Japanese style emoticons
such as
！(◎_◎ : )
end up looking like
！(◎_◎😉
in iMessage OS X
Any advice appreciated.
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
