  [ Tony Espy ]
  * [ Tony Espy ] build, gril, rilmodem, plugins/ril, test: call-
    forwarding support. [ Alfonso Sanchez-Beato ] build, gril,
    plugins/rildev: dynamic plugin loading for ril-type modems.   The
    new rildev plugin reads an environment variable to determine
    which   device plugin   to load ( defaults to the standard ril
    plugin ). build, gril, plugins/ril, rilmodem, unit: radio-settings
    support.   Allow radio technology ( ie. use 2G-only ) preference to
    be configured. [ Tony Espy ] test: update remaining test scripts to
    Python 3. build, src, plugins, src/gprs: add MMS support.   Added
    new android-provision plugin and associated -apndb code   to
    provision GPRS and MMS contexts using apns-conf.xml as the primary
      provisioning database, while mobile-broadband-provider-info is
    still   queried in order to pickup additional Apns. Also added
    support for   combined Internet/MMS contexts by allowing MMS
    specific properties   to be set for OFONO_GPRS_CONTEXT_TYPE_INTERNET
    contexts. [ Alfonso Sanchez-Beato ] rilmodem/ussd: Fix USSD Initiate
    hang (LP: #1299227 ). gril, rilmodem, unit: add SIM write support.
      This allows ofono's core call-forwarding and message-waiting logic
      to update persistent state on the SIM, in order to preserve it
    across   reboots. build, gril, include, plugins, src,
    drivers/mtkmodem, drivers/rilmodem: add MTK support.   This change
    adds support for MTK-ril modems without breaking compatibility
      with AOSP-ril modems. examples, include, plugins, src: support for
    gid type MVNOs in Android APN database. gril, rilmodem: fix for call
    redirections (LP: #1239869).   This fix checks and ignores a
    Qualcomm specific error   code that indicates a call has been re-
    directed by an   operator while roaming. build, gril, rilmodem,
    unit: add call-barring support. gril, mtkmodem, rilmodem, unit: MTK
    followup changes.   This change adds unit tests for MTK specific
    messages.   It also consolidates parsing logic for parsing data
      call lists, which is a valid payload for multiple message   types.
    Finally, the deactivate data call logic on start-   up has been re-
    worked to query the active calls before   attempting to deactivate
    any. src/smsutil: use UTF-16 instead of UCS-2 (LP: #1269017).   If
    an incoming SMS is indicated to be UCS-2, use UTF-16   instead to
    decode so that emoji's ( which use larger   codepoints than can be
    encoded in UCS-2 ) are properly   decoded. [ Jussi Pakkanen ]
    phonesim: add a DBus control interface.   This control interface has
    been added in order to make   phonesime more flexible for auto-pilot
    testing of   Touch's network-indicator code. [ Alfonso Sanchez-Beato
    ] android-apndb.c/-provision.c: fix string comparisions.   Change
    all usage of g_str_equal() to g_strcmp0(). This   fixes a crash that
    may happen if the SIM doesn't contain   a SPN file. gril: switch
    process to radio user.   Temporarily switch ofono's effective uid
    and gid during startup to that of the radio user to allow connection
    to the rild socket. gril, rilmodem/sim, unit: retrieve SIM PIN
    retries (LP: #1206941).   Read PIN retires from ENTER-PIN reply if
    available. [ Tony Espy ] gril, rilmodem,unit: fix data_call reply
    error.   Fix a parse error with setup_data_call replies. Also   re-
    worked SETUP_DATA_CALL to use the current registered   data tech
    value. Optimized gprs-context to only register   for
    DATA_CALL_LIST_CHANGED events if the context is   being actively
    used. [ Alfonso Sanchez-Beato ] src/smsutil, unit: allow
    concatenated UTF-16 SMS.   This change properly handles split
    surrogate pairs   in concatenated SMSes, as this can now happen now
      that UTF-16 is used instead of UCS-2 for decoding   SMS messages
    that specify UCS-2 encoding. (LP: #1269017, #1299227, #1239869,
    #1206941)

Title:
  Emojis not fully supported which results in blank received SMS
  messages

Status in “messaging-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ofono” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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
