Comment:

 This appears to be a more general WordPress issue, related to the lack of
 support for the utf8mb4 character set (which is where these smileys are
 stored). Background:

 - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9509668/iphone-emoticons-insert-into-
 mysql-but-become-blank-value
 - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7814293/how-to-insert-utf-8-mb4
 -characteremoji-in-ios5-in-mysql

 As an alternative to utf8mb4, we could store the images as blob data, but
 that would cause problems for message searching.

 See #WP21212 for further discussion. Going to close this one in favor of
 the WP ticket.
