Troubleshooting emoji
When using emoji in mail, text fields or messages, you may have some problems including:
- Emoji may not display as expected or match the sent emoji.
- Instead of emoji, the other device may display squares, equal signs, or question marks.
- Unexpected line breaks may appear before or after the emoji.
- You may be unable to reply to email messages that contain emoji or other unexpected characters. You may need to remove these to reply to the email.
If this happens, try to resend without using the emoji symbols. An emoji may not appear correctly on the receiving device or appear as blank spaces or boxes. That can happen when using iOS on another carrier’s network, a non iOS device or when using earlier versions of MacOS X.
