    emoji Not Backwardly Compatible?

    Ok so I used to run a 3GS on OS 4.0 and had no issues sending emoji icons to my friend on a 3GS on 3.1.3. I have upgraded to a 4 on 5.0.1 and when I try and include an emoji icon, it won't even send the text and it doesn't get delivered! Anyone else had this issue or know a fix? Cheers
