After upgrading to Mavericks, whenever I type out a smiley (screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/210a430a2d2k) it displays as normal, plain text and not as a smiley icon. If I select an emoticon from teh drop down menu, though, it works. But it does not automatically translate symbols into emoji as it previously did. How can I fix this? Thank you!

Hi,
Open the Font Book and check/validate the Font
Highlight the Font and use the File Menu > Validate.

Done that....
Tried a bunch of stuff (And I am really good with Macs!)
(including the substitutions menu)
Something more that I discovered....
If I type in the smiley in plain text, it actually works.
If I use the drop down menu, or receive one in a chat, it doesn't
I even removed the apple color emoji font, and reinstalled 10.9.1 to get a fresh one font file reinstalled....
nothing.
There is definately something of a bug going on here
The font lives in System/Library/Fonts, and is v 8.0d7e1.
(one of only 3 fonts there with an older Mod date than today.
I just disabled all non Mac Fonts
I am going to delete the font again, and reinstall the OS one more time - just to make sure....
Will update here if anything fixes it.
Ok.
