2 cents> users are going to expect emojis to work, so it seems reasonable to include on the image. If the 17M is really an issue, perhaps add it now and then break ttf-ancient-fonts into two packages: one with emojis (eg ttf-ancient-emojis) and one with everything else (ttf-ancient-fonts) and have ttf-ancient-fonts Recommends ttf-ancient- emojis but only install ttf-ancient-emojis on the device. I have no idea how much space savings this would be or if it is easy to split the packages.

I'm told that iOS users are able to see these emojis. Our messaging app should also support displaying emojis. emojis appear to not requires MMS since when using Google Hangouts in the new android, when you add an emoji the hangouts app says 'Sent now via SMS'. Two things need to happen: 1. need to be able to correctly receive SMS messages with arbitrary emojis. Currently, on image 120, an SMS with a known emoji, eg, a smiley face, will display correctly when it is and is not accompanied with text. However, an SMS with an unknown emoji (eg, with a pinata) will show up as a blank SMS, even when the SMS has text. At a minimum, the text of the message should always be shown, perhaps with an 'unknown emoji' placeholder 2. need to be able to send SMS messages with emojis [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/messaging-app/+bug/1269017/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
