Unicode characters not decoded in notifications

[YuliyanY]

unicode sms, email, calendar notifications are NOT decoded properly. Only squares are shown. Emojis don't show as well. It's 2016 ,please add support for unicode characters!!!!!

@YuliyanY welcome aboard to the Community. As far as unicode and Emojis I recommend you looking at @AndrewFitbit' s post regarding the latest Blaze update, there are improvements on the notifications as well.

Let me know if you have any questions

@SunsetRunner thanks for the reply! Can't wait to see if the Blaze supports unicode characters in notifications with this new update. I am not in the included users for the preliminary testing but hope this update resolves the issue.

Thanks

I just did a test text to myself. A few emoji's worked and some not. It is neat for the ones that did but likely won't decide everything I would guess.

@mcrmama great! I am more concerned about sms written in cirillic(for example) or caller names in  phone book written in cirillic that currently do not decode as they should. Emojis are part of our daily communication and are supported on all smarphones and major brands smart watches so I guess it is somehow normal to support them on any smart watch as long as it is part of an sms or notificatioin or an email that smart watch is displaying, hence my disappointment with the current firmware. As an example here in the UK like 50% of the population is from EU/Asia/Africa and most of them write with non latin based alfabet , therefore not supporting unicode characters is not ideal.

Hope this beta test firmware will resolve this.

Cheers

@YuliyanY, I did not realize you were from the UK. Someday I will have to go there for a visit. I am Canadian. I tried adding a Japanese keyboard to my phone and sent a text and it did not work on the Blaze.
