Emojis On Smart Phone

[dollymay]

I have a new Nokia 3 smartphone. When I want to include an emoji in a text, I get a message saying "Simple Characters Only" and that some characters will be converted. It says this behaviour can be changed in Settings, but I cant understand how to do this from Settings. I have a choice of Cancel or Convert and Send. However, whatever I choose, the message goes with no emoji, it just ignores it. Any simple solution please? The phone apparently gives me the choice of inserting hundreds or emojis and pictures.

Open the messaging app. Tap on the 3 dots at top right. Choose settings. Tap on advanced. Turn off "Use simple characters"

Thanks very much! Will give that a go.
