Emoticons? HTC M8

[kissmybass]

Hi. I purchased my HTC One M8 a few weeks ago and I love it so far...except for these weird smiley faces!

Every time I try to type in a or a it replaces it with this weird smiley face. It shows up as when it's in the typing box, but as soon as I send the text it turns into this deformed smiley. I've already disabled the Smart Emoji button, which took away the typical emoticons, but now it's just these weird faces, and it's getting annoying.

Also, is there a way to disable the .com option from the internet keyboard?

Any information would help. Thanks!

It would help explaining your issue to us much better if you could post some screenshots of what you are talking about.

Meanwhile, have you installed any keyboards or fonts? if yes, then either one of them could be causing the problem.

Sorry I'm new here. I can't seem to post a picture but I haven't downloaded any keyboards or anything along those lines.

Here we go! Those awful smileys.

Adding this on as well: even though I only have android emoticons, it sends iPhone ones, even to android phones.

If it's neither a keyboard or a font, then those smilies could be a custom smilies made for whatever is that app you are using.

Does the same smilies appears on other apps as well?
