Emoticon do not appear correctly since the new firmware upgrade on 2/6/2014. They are not seen on the receiving end. They come out as boxes.
How do I fix that? When someone sends me an emoticon, it;s not the yellow smiley face, it comes out as colon & 1/2 paragraph. Why?
Help
I just upgraded to an HTC One, which swiftly updated the operating system to KitKat. It appears that "insert smiley" has been removed as a messaging option under KitKat, and previous messages (restored from my previous handset) now display smileys as the keyboard characters, rather than the emoticons. I haven't yet been able to find any fix, work-around, or even justification for this change.
*sigh*

The smileys have been moved to the keyboard for you to select and add to a message.
