emoji and pages

Good morning,

When I try to use emojis on a Pages document, they never show up, and don't print out! What is happening here? 😠

Thanks!

Pages '09 doesn't recognize emoji characters, and won't display them. Pages v5 (v5.2.2 tested) will accept emoji from the Edit > Special Characters palette by drag/drop, or even rapid double-click. These save in the current document, and survive export to Word, and PDF. You cannot expect them to survive export to Pages '09.

Pages 09 cannot handle the Apple Color Emoji font. They should show up and print if you download and use a non-color font for them, like OpenSansEmoji. Of course these are not as attractive...
