Chinese symbols in texts

A

AC Question

Galaxy S5, ATT service. Standard text app that comes with phone. 2 year old device. First time with issues.

When I send texts with emojis, it will send the text in Chinese characters. If I resend without the emoji, it will send it in English. This happens about 90% of the time. In most cases, it's between two Samsung devices, both using ATT (just coincidence that the two people I text most have the same device and service).

I scanned with Lookout and AVG. No threats detected. Used the performance booster and it didn't change anything.

Any ideas? I've been able to recreate the issue and I'm 100% sure it's being caused by the emojis. These are the ones that came with the phone. Not an emoji app

Thanks
