Problem With Samsung 5 sending Chinese messages when using certain emojis...

[AC Question]

The problem (Chinese) only happens if there are emojis (that came with the phone on the latest software update which is android 6.0.1) when I send a text. If I take the emojis out, the text sends in English. Since my latest update on my phone a week ago, every time I send a text message with some kind of emoji's, my message turns into Chinese to whoever I sent it to. It happens within the ATT network, that's all I use and text to in my family. Any suggestions (besides not using emojis) on what the problem may be or how to correct it? I have a Samsung Galaxy 5. Thanks, Debby

Okay, s5 here. Go to language and input and select english, update if applicable, then go to date and time and uncheck then recheck auto settings. Worked for me

Problem only occurred with incoming text messages that included an emoji. Tried all the suggestion. Subsequently determined my SIM Card was bad. Got a new SIM card and problem resolved.
