I am sending this with the dim hope it will help shed more light. To be clear, the emoji show correctly on my composing screen and Sent copy. When my (AOL) friend replies, that is when my emoji change to letters and numbers. Here is another example that was in my friend's reply; the wording is all mine and was included in the reply: Also, \uD83D\uDC47. (Here I have a finger pointing downward for you to see further comments below in bold.)
