Native emoji keyboard is not cross platform.
I just bought an iphone 5 last saturday. i enable emoji keyboard and was able to view the icons but has the following problem:
1. recipeint gets either symbols or boxes (iphone 4 and galaxy3)
2. when a user sent me an emoticon, i get the
and not the yellow smiley faces.
I contacted apple twice. First try, they told me that the native emoji keyboard is indeed cross platformed and I shoud restore my iphone which I did to no avail.
Second time I contact, they said it is not cross platformed and I should seek a third party app but can't offer which one. (link is his explanation)

I will buy the third party app if the price is reasonable (shoudl be free!), but hoped that apple would at least let us know which one works before shelling out extra money.
So now I am lost to which really is true! Is the native emoji cross platformed or not? Is there an app out there that would get rid of this barrier?
