Why can I send emoji's but can't receive emoji's?

[Windows Central Question]

can send emoji but cant receive emoji

Why is it that when I send most emoji's to a android ( say some new Samsung phone) they receive the emoji,
But when I receive a message with a emoji it shows up as ?? instead of the emoji.

p.s. I have a 635 wp running 8.1

Re: can send emoji but cant receive emoji

It's probably because android messaging app doesn't use universal emoji codes but use its own weird codes that aren't recognized by windows stock messaging app....
