ok so i've played around with languages, adding, removing, and the only reason i've done so is to see which languages have which characters (mainly for BBM char fun) and i have this list of characters that obviously all show up on the computer but on bberry many show up as black boxes, and i have figured out that adding japanese and chinese (eastern asian) languages give some new but many such as: all the scissors, skull and crossbones, chess pieces etc, i cannot find what language adds these characters as visible, i'll go ahead and inclose the list here, if anyone knows what languages add what characters i think it'd be nice for us to have a compiled sheet instead of everyone just being like OMG ITS ALL JUST BLACK BOXES FOR ME.

edit: i forgot to include the characters

For the receiving person, they need to have those languages installed as well, I believe or else they will see the black boxes, as described. You want Japanese Emoji, right?

[katiepea]

i realize that the receiving party has to have it installed too, but this would mostly be for me and my gf whom i can also install whatever language for so that's not an issue for me, i was guessing it was probably a japanese pack yes!

This looks awfully familiar!

[LazyStarGazer]

So the Japanese fonts were not included in the last O/S with "foreign language support"? Ive been trying to figure out why some of these symbols are not supported as well.

[LazyStarGazer]

Wow. 633 characters waiting to be coded into Unicode. 99% of them in color.
Much fancier than what were used to.

Emoji are pretty damn cool.

[katiepea]

currently i have .266 installed on my bold (eastern asian language) version, which honestly seems to be killing my free memory, however only a handful of the symbols are supported, still not the ones i specifically mentioned above.
