I know what you mean. It'd sure be nice to know which of those are "web-safe." Also how to decrypt someone else's emoji that appear as blank boxes to me. I finally gave up and decided to stick with the MobiTog ones.

I've noticed that if you insert emojis via the MobiTog app, they most always appear just fine - even if you then go into the web view, you can see them.
But, if you try and insert them while on a web browser, they don't appear at all. You hit post, and your words are there but no emojis. You can only use the MobiTog emoticons like
and 
and 
, etc. found in the editing box.I have seen the blank box phenomenon.... I guess that is emojis that are inserted via the MobiTog app, but that appear as boxes - but do they appear as boxes in the app version, or only on the web version? And why do they appear as boxes?? These are the questions that keep me up at night.......
[emoji7][emoji177][emoji14][emoji44](you're right Cat..non-Mobi emojis appear from the app. I'd tried to enter them from the browser on my Mac)
That's why I like to use the app most times... I'm a bit of an Emoji Whore. [emoji849][emoji848][emoji57][emoji41]

And there's the empty square I was talking about (I'm viewing in desktop Safari).️
Weird!!
[emoji89][emoji880]It's the "peace sign" [emoji111]️ not showing, although the "a-ok" [emoji108] shows. (I added them here to see what happens.)
EDIT: I'm now on Safari on my iMac, and the symbols show but there there's a square next to them. DOUBLE WEIRD.

Yes, the MobiTog emoticons - which can either be accessed in the editing bar that you see above the space where you type your replies or by inserting the proper word in-between colons (minus the spaces) : alien : or : coffee : - will only show up as the code word when viewing in the app, but you'll see the actual emoticons when on a web browser.
