Please, include Unicode emoticons and pictographs in the default Ubuntu installation; as they:
- Allow visual representation in plain text, which saves having to use complex formatting in messages for this and warranties cross compatibility with Android and Apple devices for messaging. - Saves a huge amount of time when editing documents where you want to have icons, as these are diverse and visual coherent with each other. You don't need to look for icon-sets that fits you purpose, and can be used everywhere you wish.

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
