Weird Text Messages happening with Galaxy Note 5

[AC Question]

I have a galaxy note 5 through t-mobile and over the past couple weeks I've been receiving weird text messages from friends. It's hard to explain but I'll get a text message with some weird letters in front of a message. I didn't think anything of it till a girlfriend said I didn't answer her question to me but on my end it just looked strange so I thought it was a mistake but she showed me her phone and it was a paragraph long and all I got was the tailend of it. Now it's happening way too often and have no idea how to fix it.

So here is a example, excuse the language but it's the only proof I have:

"ԀΉȂsince I grew them bitches!! "

But what she actually said was:
"Now I'm tuckered out from searching. At least I know their mine since I grew them bitches!! "

Any help would be appreciated

I would try to clear cache and app data on the messaging app
