Why are my smileys not showing?
An emoji is a Japanese term for an image that can be used in text to represent an action, a character, or to express an emotion. Although they are present on the majority of androids, emojis may not be displayed in the same way. In some cases, they don’t show up at all. In this article, we offer you some ways to understand and solve the display problem of emojis.
The problem of fragmentation
The problem of fragmentation can be manifested by incompatibilities with applications, software or hardware. Usually fragmentation is not a problem with applications. For example, a game that runs on an Android 5.0 smartphone will also run on a 4.1 or 7.0. But when it comes to emojis, there may be some incompatibility issues. In fact, it all depends on the unicode version supported by your device. According to a survey conducted in 2017, only 10% of Android devices have the ability to display all emojis.
Some app editors and manufacturers choose to change the pre-embedded emoji fonts in devices. These changes can also prevent emojis from being displayed, because emojis are nothing more than fonts. However, there are solutions to display your emojis.
How to display your emojis?
First of all, we advise you to check if your device supports the display of emojis. To do this, you can open your browser and go to the wikipedia emoji web page. If your browser does not display emojis then you need to perform a routing. If your device has an Android version lower than 4.1 then the only solutions to display and use emojis are to update your system or download a messaging app that integrates emojis. Versions greater than or equal to 4.1 are supposed to display emojis, but if your device does not display them, you must go to the “settings” menu and then to “language and input” to activate the emoji keyboard. You can search fornew emoji on the Net and install the google keyboard to keep your emojis up to date once the display problem has been resolved. Some sites like smiley-gratuit.fr offer you simple platforms where you can easily copy paste emoji.
To conclude, we can say that fragmentation and changes made by manufacturers may be the reason why emojis are not showing. But by using a messaging app, updating, or activating the emoji keyboard, you can easily fix the display issue.
