I'm developing an Android app with Galaxy S8.



When I write some special characters, they appear to be Galaxy emoji. Things like these: ↔♥◀▶



How can I prevent them from turning into emoji?

          Typically to select between the emoji and the character version you'll have to use a variation selector




          Unicode defines variation sequences for many of its emoji to indicate their desired presentation.




          Emoji characters can have two main kinds of presentation:




          • an emoji presentation, with colorful and perhaps whimsical shapes, even animated

          • a text presentation, such as black & white
            — Unicode Technical Report #51: Unicode Emoji[75]




          Specifying the desired presentation is done by following the base emoji with either U+FE0E VARIATION SELECTOR-15 (VS15) for text or U+FE0F VARIATION SELECTOR-16 (VS16) for emoji-style.[76]



          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#Emoji_versus_text_presentation




          So if you don't want them to be displayed as emojis just attach a VS15 to the end
