Emojis not fully supported which results in blank received SMS
messages

Bug description:
Android allows for adding emojis[1] to SMS messages. I'm told that iOS
users are able to see these emojis. Our messaging app should also
support displaying emojis.
emojis appear to not requires MMS since when using Google Hangouts in
the new android, when you add an emoji the hangouts app says 'Sent now
via SMS'. Two things need to happen:
1. need to be able to correctly receive SMS messages with arbitrary
emojis. Currently, on image 120, an SMS with a known emoji, eg, a
smiley face, will display correctly when it is and is not accompanied
with text. However, an SMS with an unknown emoji (eg, with a pinata)
will show up as a blank SMS, even when the SMS has text. At a minimum,
the text of the message should always be shown, perhaps with an
'unknown emoji' placeholder
2. need to be able to send SMS messages with emojis
